Here is a video of the Triple Threat with Select Alert enabled. (Warning to the front only, no side or rear)

This concept was 30 years ahead of its time. Very impressive engineering.

Great video. Does it have a circuit board or does it use a split contact plate to control the front only lighting?

That is the first one I have seen set up for front-only warning. Around these parts, the select-alert was always used for rear-only warning. Typically in conjunction with amber cut-outs in the red or blue domes.

Select Alert on a 72"?? How cool is that!

It has a contact wheel with grooves cut into it attached to the bottom of the rotator assemblies, which ride on a brush. There are a couple of pictures in my earlier thread.

The reason for the rear cutout is that it came off a rescue truck, probably with an ambulance box, so there was really no reason to have any rearward warning at all. I don't know that they ever had the rearward even wired in.

I will try to get another video posted with the whole thing running, stingers and all, before I put it up on the shelf and forget about it.

That's an amazingly different and unique bar. I wonder what the reason for this sort of Select Alert was when the bar was in service.

Very interesting. Almost looks like the bulbs are on a flasher.

This setup would make sense on a tiller truck, so as to not impair the tillerman's vision.

Here is the same bar with select alert disabled and the stingers turned on. Kind of a blurry mess to film...
