I've never seen one of these before, but I'd be damned if I'd spend that kind of money for that light!

That's smoking crack, shooting meth, and drinking acid-laced water at the same time pricing right there!!! Good grief :hopeless: .
Tristar said:
But, but... it comes with an actual picture of a historic, vintage police car!
Maybe it's just me, but I don't seen any resemblance between the beacon in the pic and the one for sale.

Now, who is going to be the first to harass er I mean "edge-a-ma-cate" this individual.
Tristar said:
I happened to see part of a Kojak episode this past Sunday, Matthew, and you're right, it was a Bearcat III that Kojak "talked" on.
MtnMan said:
You're right about that. The Boston PD unit shown has a CJ84 beacon/speaker. The blue light for sale so ridiculously priced is a two-lamp beacon. I'm curious to know who built the light for Motorola. I'm sure they didn't do it themselves. I would guess North American just by looking.

His first response to my very informationally correct and respectful email: "this light came from the BPD"
His second response to me correcting him and asking him for proof: "your wrong"
This guys, folks. THIS GUY.

That's not all that's ridiculous, Paul. I was just on Ebay looking at the vintage sirens section and never saw such ridiculous pricing on stuff. What I did spot was a nice Super Chief for sale in Granbury, TX, which isn't far from where my late friend Harold lived.
Skip Goulet said:Bad, Matthew. But I knew you just had to take a stab at it!
Skip, call me slow, but I just caught the really bad pun you made in the above post! I'm sorry if I've been a bad influence on you. Regardless, I will say that you have a really cutting edge sense of humor.

I just called the seller (with caller ID blocked), and left a message. I told him that I was interested in the lightbar, but I wanted to know if it's the standard model or the model with the platinum base...I went on to say that for $1,000 I was guessing that it had the platinum base.
Stampeed Valkyrie said:
I couldn't help myself...I called this guy, too, and asked if it was the standard model or if had the platinum base. And yes, I double checked...I did block caller ID.
Skip Goulet said:And he also dances with the tooth fairy!
I think he was smokin something with the tooth fairy.
Only $390. The seller says that this is a good price (I wonder if she's a member here...not). I have one in better condition, that I'd be more than happy to sell for an even better price of $350. By the way, Skip - what did this cost new? I want to let her know.

I was forwarded this via a friend in OC. He was looking to make a roscoe bar, Good source bar... but even if its in excellent shape its not worth anywhere near what this seller is asking.
Especially when I just scored one on CL in NJ in better shape for sub $100.

If it was actually 1939 vintage, which is seriously doubt, it would've cost less than $100, since that is the larger Model 30. However, the couple of 1939 firetrucks I've seen had the Sterling Model 20. These were on American-LaFrance cab-over models that had a ladder rack built over and behind the cab. On these trucks the Model 20 Sirenlite were mounted in the center of the hood. And that 30 would've been chromed. I wonder why someone painted it like that; and notice, the bracket is also missing. And it's listed as "condition: new". Right!
Stampeed Valkyrie said:
I called the seller and asked him if it was NIB (I know it's not). He told me that it's not, but that it's in very nice condition. I told him that $350 was high for a used Aerodynic, and that they usually go for $100 - 125. He got snotty, and said that's not going to happen, and that he wont sell it for less than $250. I then (nicely) asked him if it's the standard model, or the model with the platinum base and mounting hardware. His response?..."I don't know". What an idiot!
Tristar said:
I briefly texted this guy to see what ballpark range he was willing to work with, He also mentioned lowest he will go is $250. I thanked him for his time and said I will pass it on.
I recommended to the prospective buyer to pass, as he would be out $250 and still need to purchase R/B domes.
I also noted that the feet aren't original they look like jetsonic feet.
Stampeed Valkyrie said:
Here's your JetSonic feet. Which you were right about.
My question is the second picture. Has anyone ever seen these plates mounted on Jet feet?
They came off this jet I have and were mounted on the frt. side.
I'm guessing to reduce air drag?
