Picked this up today. Good news is it’s a CTS. Got two good red TS domes. Bad news is no California dome, missing one end cap, and- well, take a look.

Motor is still there and works, albeit slowly. Chains gone. Sure wish it had the Amber cutout dome.

I remember doing something similar with a code 3 SD bar............but I wish I had the star trek facepalm picture saved, or one made that said WHY the fuck would you ruin a perfectly good bar

I'll raise you one with this little gem found in an LP 6000 that I got a while ago. Love the spring that was used to keep it level with the other rotators. Everything else is mostly fine, but a full restoration is in progress.

It would be interesting to compare video of Crownfire's Twinsoinic to a traditional Twinsonic and see if there is much visual difference between the two.

I know it's not original, but it's the first Twin Sonic light bar I've seen with rotating reflectors.

lol this belongs in the Frankenbar thread..

But @Crownfire I approve! you can switch it back... or just keep it as is. I'm not a rotator expert but they look like older streethawk style rotators.

It is a shame it didn't include the CTS dome, but it looks fairly clean (well, a little grime) and should be relatively easy to put the correct rotators and chain drive in.

I’m adding restoration of this bar to the project list. If anyone has a CTS end cap or a CTS cutout dome, speak up.

I used to sell Code 3 LP 6000 rotors to a city 10 at a time. I once delivered them in person and seen a DPW radio guy gutting Twinsonics and installing the LP rotors in them and replacing the domes with Amber. I asked the director if we could work out a trade for some rotors in exchange for the Twinsonic parts. I would have discounted the rotors for the parts on the invoices. He literally told me to go F' myself. I never got the parts and the next time I seen him, he was driving a sweeper. The new director was really nice.

Wow...that guy was a Grade A c**t. Did the new director help y'all out at least?

They were all done :-( Due to a union issue, we lost the police vehicle contract so I had no reason to go out there anymore, I never did try to recover the converted Twins. Their radio guy - who would spend 30 days upfitting a single vehicle - filed a grievance because he thought he was going to lose his job.
