And yet another light that I have run across in my travels. This is another recent pickup that just happened to be literally right next door to the last find.

Domes are Amber, just completely bleached out by the sun. Flashers are from what I believe to be a Sireno Condor.
All in all the bar is fairly good shape considering its age, nothing a good cleanup wouldn't resolve. Motor seems to run pretty quiet, and the flasher is wonky. Or on other words it is working as a Thermal flasher should.. :p

And for the video folks!

The stationary lamp holders are definitely Sireno. Looks to me like this is a standard Model 12 Twinsonic Series A1 that someone, for who knows what reason, took out the cascade mirrors and installed Sireno lamp holders. People sometimes do some weird things to old lightbars, at least this one is functional and not a horrible, Bubba job.

This light will sit on the back burner for abit, but it's largely going to stay the same. I will clean it up and rerun the wiring to the correct block. Currently the driver side sireno lamp holder is blocking at least partially where i need to go. I've got some room to raise it abit with some washers. just keep the 2 level and I should be good.

Resurrecting a past thread..

So almost a year later, and I finally got around to cleaning up and finishing this bar.

How long did the cleaning take? The difference is amazing.
That is probably what took the longest. At least a few hours a day stretched out over multiple days.

As I previously posted, it was not a Bubba build, it actually looked pretty nice, looks even better now.

Looks great. Those Sireno bulb holders are used in everything Sireno. They allowed for versatility and were stacked if you wanted two or 4 bulbs. Here you see them in my 44660 Beacon.
