Wailer said:The sirens in the photos you posted are Federal C5G models, not 66Gs.
crescentstar69 said:We need some of our crafty members here to reproduce these platters!

The photos were just examples so others knew what I was talking about C5G will work aswell.

Wailer said:I read the passages of the book and there are some errors. The C5G is definitely the siren seen on the platters of vehicles used in the Emergency TV show, not the 66G as described in the book.
In the pilot episode a different siren sound was dubbed in for the Squad with the platter. It sounds like a B&M siren, not a Federal.
Squad 51 had a PA20A electronic siren, but the sound that was dubbed in was a recording of a PA20, not a PA20A. The PA20 and PA20A are completely different sirens and don't sound anything like each other.
Reno911 said:My holy grail would be a CHP Vision. I'd dish out a pretty penny on a old beat up bar. Have CHP Vision model labels, might just build a bar around them.
I 26 said:What makes a CHP Vision other than the labels? I've got a full vision system and would love to turn it CHP or NYPD...
crescentstar69 said:Well, it came and the search is finally over. My Holy Grail item is finally here! I have searched for over 25 years for this siren, a Sireno Signal Projector, circa 1967. It is in beautiful condition for a 46 year old siren. I had one 28 years ago as a volunteer, and like a fool, I traded it for something else. Luckily, this one is in much better shape. The unique thing about these sirens is that they sound like a GE Powercall on warble.
Marty1 said:Got 3 holy grail that took me more than 2 years of research here, thanks to my folks that helped and sold them: my Signal Stat Stat 9 NYPD siren, my 2 Signal Stat Dual Comm with clear lenses NYPD setup and my 6 Full-Vues lights by Grimes !
To be honest a holy grail I absolutely need to acquire in future would be a 1967 or 68 Superior Cadillac High Top ambulance, could trade everything I own (except my wife) for that !! Gorgeous!
crescentstar69 said:Well you learn something new every day. My Sireno is missing the wiring harness. After downloading the manual for it, the male plug is called a Jones Connector. I was shocked that they are still available, and I have one on the way to make my own harness.
Many thanks to Skip Goulet and Henry455 for their help! We truly have some amazing members here.
Skip Goulet said:I suffered a "senior moment" when we were on PM, Mark. I couldn't think of the name "Jones connector" to save my life. The Interceptors also used a Jones plug, but as Tim has suggested, the wiring may be a bit different. You're gonna have to post a demo when you get it up and running (or howling, as the case may be. ).
JazzDad said:My holy grail item would have to be the JazzDad Company (now JazzDad Industries, Inc.) Model 1, serial #000001 beacon. I can't believe we sold it; but then we never expected in our wildest dreams to become the premier emergency lighting manufacturer in the world. I can only imagine what that little darling would sell for today. Sotheby's, on the right day, could probably get 35 cents for it.
Skip Goulet said:Do have any pix of it??
JazzDad said:Sorry. Great Grandad never took pictures of the early stuff. It was sold strictly by his cadre of salesmen, who traveled across the country by train.

ERIC6913 said:Basically the computer board inside the lightbar is programmed with CHP Spec. light patterns.
Reno911 said:Correct. I bet you could program some of the CHP modes into a regular vision. I know the modes. Making a CHP bar out of Smart Vector Pods, I can do 3 modes that CHP bars had.

Blue glass dome Beacon Ray. I have red, clear, and amber domes in glass, just need the blue to complete my collection. Apparently others also share my obsession: recently a blue dome and skirt (no innards) went for over $300 on eBay.
