I got this TS this morning and not (quite) sure if its a frankenbar or not. Thinking the center pods are early SignalStat 350 rotators. ANY info is appreciated, as always....

The name plate says 12XQ that means that the bar had X-mirrors from the beginning and the mirrors are X-mirrors but someone has rebuild and rearranged the mirrors for one way direction.

The Q means that the bar had halogen sealed beams (H7600) from the factory.

The lampholders are most probably from a Signal-Stat Dual-Comm bar.

Thanks Michael!

Tony,
I agree, but they ruined an otherwise nice grill doing so.

coop359,
I have the grill (and a pair of clear domes). They actually drilled MULTIPLE holes in the back of it to allow little rays of light out through.
The front of the grill remains untouched. Really is a cool bar - not sure what direction to go with it.

I acquired a SignalStat amber bar along with it.

Neat,
This is one of those strange brew bars that you find every once in awhile... personally I would clean it up and leave it AS-IS.. it's a conversation starter at the very least.

You can understand why they added the flashers and rearranged the mirrors. Those X mirrors are a big disappointment for effectiveness.
