Troy Police - 70s & 80s Signal-Stat Dual-Comms

[LRGJr72]

I had to retrofit these myself with the blue/clear domes and the red sealed beams under the clear side to mimic the lightbars used by the police in Troy, Michigan from the late 1970s thru to about 1990. The blues domes need to be polished.

Video..

Interesting set up, you're going to have to post a video of them in action.

Just did it!

... both have alternating flashers for the inboard sealed-beams. But for some reason one of those bars would not alternate. It would only flash all four stationary beams simultaneously. Something in the wiring was askew. Either way, my whole collection is in a mini-storage in Memphis. I am in a small apartment 1000 miles away in Denver.

cool setups

Those are set up really nice. Looks like the top bar's blue side rotator needs a little tune-up to rotate as fast as the opposite side. Other than that, they look good!

Cool! Thanks for the video

Very nice bars.

I've been tempted to sell the clear domes since there's so much demand for them to complete NYPD projects. Just can't do it. Hell, I'd GIVE at least one of these bars to the Troy Police if someone there would commit to doing a restore/replica car from this era.

Nicely done on the lights! And thanks for the video. I've never been fond of blue on the driver side, but Troy had a good setup with these bars, imho.

I was gonna ask you if you were planning a restore. Modern graphics aside, I always liked the Troy PD cars, ever since I had that AMT model as a kid. Too bad the model didn't have the Dual-Comms.

Excellent bars and they look to be in really good condition! Keep em just like they are! When my brother was chief of a small PD in suburban Louisville, he went to red/blue on his cars with blue on the drivers side--a check in the mirror showed blue so no question of police or ems/fire. BTW, I noticed the lower bar-clear dome has a Dietz rotator instead of a gen3 SigStat rotator (they allowed for counter rotation from the other side). A typical repair for these bars. Do you still have the mounting feet?

No.. I don't have the mounting feet. Wish I did, though!

Very unique combination, really like them. Those clear domes are rare!
