Federal Signal My First Aerodynic Lightbar

I picked up this little gem today, an Aerodynic 24EAH Lightbar. Was on a tow truck and isn't too beat down surprisingly. I don't know much about the FS bars. The Motor turns but the little plastic drive gear is toast. Any feedback would be appreaciated.

Very Informative video. I almost wonder if this particular bar was a police bar at one time and then put amber lenses. As a former tow truck operator I don't see the need for Alley or end flashers.

Made some headway today, needed a good scrubbing. 3 of the alley, flasher bulbs are the wrong type. Someone had this type of flasher in it. Boy is that thing heavy comes in at 8oz Not sure yet what flasher
I'm going to put in it yet. I have a FA3 Flasher laying around I might use. Wondering if I should replace the drive belt while I got it pulled apart.

Although yours bears a patent number apparently missing a digit, what you have there is a 1950s-era thermal flasher:

That's what I thought @shues this is rated up to 15 amps which is high. I did a little research on these and apparently these were very popular on ambulance vehicles. It has three terminals on it. 1 for Battery and 1 marked LB and UB. Evidently, LB= Lower Bulb UB= Upper Bulb.
