Unique MARS Light Find!

[- cor0colorado]

I got this beautiful gem yesterday to add to my collection! I have never heard of a "MARS 600" and apparently neither has Google or Youtube! Much to my surprise, it is in nearly brand new condition! There are two sealed-beam rotators and front/rear flashers. The original dome is intact with no cracks.

A video of this beauty!

Look up the Mars SpectraSystem. This is the mini of it. Very nice find!

Didnt they also make an 800? Similar in looks but different internals

Looks like they went by several names.

That is a piece of art.

Congratulation to this find!

Look up the Mars SpectraSystem. This is the mini of it...

The Skybars did have the same dome but it's not the mini of the Spectrasystem. That's the Aurorasystem.

Yes they did and also a 400!
400= 4 oscilating PAR36 lights
600= 2 double PAR36 rotator + front&rear-flasher
800= 2 tripple PAR36 rotator + front&rear-flasher

Very Nice, I dig it mister!

That beauty would be easy to CalSpec! Steady red to front and flashing amber to rear. Lotsa questions: Did it come with more red inserts for the dome? (If not, you can use theatre lighting gels.) Is the base metal or plastic?
That's just a sweet and righteous find! That's worth an honorary membership in ABOC--the Aurora Borealis Owners Club!
