I spent today restoring this old SVP bar that I just got on ebay.
It is from 1982, or thereabouts. Both motors are dated 1-22-82.
I didn't even know what I was buying. The picture was awful ( I should talk, with my crappy camera-phone :duh: ). But for a winning bid of $26.00, and $30.00 to ship it, I was willing to gamble that it would be kind of unique.
I had never seen one with rounded domes, and a squared off, Twinsonic-like speaker cover. It looked like a cross between a Signal-Stat Dual Comm & a Twinsonic.
Motorolamaniac told me that it looked like an old SVP, and he was right.
Here is the inside, all cleaned up and working great. The flasher is a Kay-Lab model 12-S. The same flasher we use on our brushbreakers for the 7" warning lights (school bus lights)
Next week I will try to get to wet sanding & buffing the two red lenses. They are in tough shape, with some deep scratches. It looks like somebody tried to spray paint one of them blue.
This is funny...They raised the fixed flasher assemblies up by using PVC pipe, and threaded rod.
