I'd have to say the rarest in my collection are my two Code 3 Xl sealed beam minibars, and the most valuable is probably my candystriped Aerodynic or my fully loaded streethawk all lighter. Who knows, though.

I had a Whelen 6000 series about 20 years ago but it's one piece plastic dome had a major mishap with my carport's concrete. Technically, I still have it, since it's remnants are now resting in peace in the country at my folk's place. I have the old boxy Strobe II metal case power supply, the speaker grille, and one of the 8 octal strobe bulb mounts in my storage building somewhere.....

 

[wfdstation42]

12" nickel plated ALF bell. The lady I got it from said her husband got it off a 40's era ALF at a scrap yard to put in the yard but never did. Yes, I know it needs to be polished but the better half loves beaten and battered things ( prob why she loves me) and says it has great "patina" so I can't even come near it with a buffer.





Fed Sig model 174 Super Beacon Ray. Has clear plastic dome but I do have a red and amber glass dome for it.





Fed Sig NOS model 175 hill light. Came with original box, albeit a bit tattered, wire, 2 position pull switch, mounting hardware and instructions.





Fed Sig NYPD Aerotwin. Got it from a retired NYPD officer who said the car it was mounted on was wrecked shortly after being placed in service so the light didn't see much action.

 

[Pimp]

Rarest(s):





Whelen green 8000 dome - I've never seen another one for sale

















Like new Red and Clear Whelen 80/90 domes.

















Whelen Model 5000 Strobe beacon in amber

















Whelen Freez-Alarm New in Box.

















Lectric Lites Mini-Bar XMB (strobe mini bar) - I've never seen another one for sale

















Lectric Lites XMR Scout (halogen mini bar) - I've never seen another one for sale























And most valuable... although I seriously need to restore the damn thing or find someone close who can...








MARS AURORA BOREALIS

 

[MIKET2]

X2 on that Aurora Pimp.

Your username should be luckyducky with the bars you have. NICE

 

[stansdds]

Video of that MCSO CTS would be great!

 

[Shawn L]

watch some of the early clops episodes, they show them in action, nothing real special, the blue "steady burn " actualy flashes on these.
