They did the same thing in the movie 'A Perfect World', which was supposed to be set in the early to mid 1960s. Near the end a bunch of patrol cars show up with single bubble top beacons. They were new 14s with 17 domes.77 Ford Ltd DPS car used in the Movie, "The Lone Wolf McQuade". These are actually Franken lights as pointed out by another member on a previous post. They are Federal 14s with 17 domes.
I just threw up a little.http://youtu.be/dkM-narQXxY
converted xl9000 from all sealed beam lamps to two rotating strobes with inboard sealed beams
A page back there is a post on this project completed...I just threw up a little.
You are certainly correct, they would have to be 11's, even my description of these lights was a Frankenstein!If that is a Twin Beacon Ray, those would be model 11's
where's the video?This is a bar I made with 2 Jr beacon rays internals are code3's LSS222 led beacons and the center Mars 888 with an able2 Ultra led par36 light. Bar itself is a new FS bar with mounting feet from a vista lightbar. Guess this would qualify as a Frankenstein-ed light bar. The last photo the mars still had the sealed beam inside.0819070238.jpg0819070248.jpg1013214435 - Copy.jpg0614063632.jpg
I think the correct way to describe it is a Model 11, singular, not plural. A complete twin Beacon Ray is a Model 11, like a TwinSonic is a Model 12.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Dan, you are most probably correct about the complete models, but I never mentioned models. However if you take one of the beacons off the twin bar and put it on a rock, it is still a Federal Beacon Ray Model 11, and the remaining beacon on the bar would also be an 11. It would be like a cyclops as apposed to a twin.I think the correct way to describe it is a Model 11, singular, not plural. A complete twin Beacon Ray is a Model 11, like a TwinSonic is a Model 12.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
:crackup: :crackup: :crackup:feel better stansdds, certainly throws out a nice warning signal
lol
its natural instinct to pull over when you have to throw up
figured it works better then lights and sirens
Ohhh, that qualifies as a Frankenbeacon-bar combo.This is a bar I made with 2 Jr beacon rays internals are code3's LSS222 led beacons and the center Mars 888 with an able2 Ultra led par36 light.

The whole set up looks great. The only thing I don't like is someone modifying a good junior! (or a pair, in this case).This is a bar I made with 2 Jr beacon rays internals are code3's LSS222 led beacons and the center Mars 888 with an able2 Ultra led par36 light.

I guess you missed a post I made about Juniors somewhere on this board a while back. The Junior were notorious for having a small plastic gear go out. It was always assumed that the motor was gone, when it was just that plastic gear. I actually did the same thing. Didn't scrap the whole light, just removed that big 1019 bulb and put it in an old Mars DL8 light...the forerunner of the 888. Thirty years later I found out that John Dorgan found a source for those gears. Don't know how many poor little Juniors got scrapped because of that damned gear!Well Skip, one beacon motor stopped working which gave me the idea. Bought a second to replace the first until I could find an LED beacon to actually fit. Once code 3 came out with the LSS222 the mind was set, I gutted the second and still have the guts in a box on the shelf. That's how this bar came about, just because one motor gave up. BTW I never give up an idea, write it down, draw it up, then if funds and means finally gets created. :crazy: B)
It does work. But it's a stupid idea. Since when does an Edge bar need rotators?What the hell is that????????? Does it even work.

This is a True Genuine Vintage Internal workings of an old emergency vehicle rotating light fixture. It is missing the surround. The wires are still intact. If you are good with electricity, you can make this into a really neat ceiling lamp or floor lamp for retro-cool clubhouse. This is a heavy duty piece, vintage from the 1960s or '70s. It weighs 4-1/3 lbs. It is all steel with the exception of the plastic lenses. Each lense shows the manufacturer as Yankee Turnflex. It is 8" tall and the base diameter is 7.5". These were the dome styled revolving emergency lights that would spin around on the top of a cop car, fire chief, EMT or any other emergency vehicle. These have gotten to be rare over time. There is a collector's market for the old lights and sirens from back in the day. Excellent Condition. Great piece to restore or repurpose. Automobile Memorablia at a price that you can actually afford. Shiping Priority Mail wiil be $15.00 anywhere in the USA. Additional will be required fo shipping outside the USA. Another Great Deal for somebody out there!
What a lying sack of s#!t.found this surfing the web today. Check out the description.
lmao wait wut?found this surfing the web today. Check out the description.
These lights WERE offered. A small municipality near me had these on their DPW trucks wayyyyy back when. They were just as Dan described w/ a #537 under the base. I even think they may have been in the J.C. Whitney catalog back then but don't quote me on that... Once again, I'll have to do some diggin' for the old literature. These are/were REAL folks! The poor narrator is just clueless, that's all. There were no domes on these...they were mounted just as you see it.I've seen these before, and think it was really offered, but with an alternating flasher, but you're right, he's way off base.

Maybe that was their answer to the Federal 044s or the old "M" lights.I've seen these before, and think it was really offered, but with an alternating flasher, but you're right, he's way off base.
You are correct. There are three of four types of these "lollipops on a _________ " type lights that were sold in auto parts catalogs. They didn't have outer domes and had between one and six automotive/tractor style lollipops powered with a thermal flasher.These lights WERE offered.
