Whelen 5200PA

[PC Comms]

I pulled this one out of the garage the other night and spent a few evenings bringing it back from the dead. It originally was just a base and a 99 series clear dome with nothing in it when I started. The base looks like it was never on a vehicle before. The lettering on the decal on the back of it is like new. I had a fairly clean pie pan laying around and after giving it a good once over, put it in and covered it all up with a super clean Commander lens that I had sitting on the shelf. It works perfectly and even has a cruise light in it. (And yes, it has the classic whistle every time it fires!) The only thing I need for it to be complete are a band with the 5200PA build plate on it and a bottom for the pie pan. If you click on the first photo, you can see the video. Sorry for the quality, but the camera isn't really the best. Enjoy.

Very, very nice. I've always liked the looks of those, although the only one I've seen are pix and catalogs. Lubbock EMS used the Commander strobes on their earliest EMS units back in the '70s; but they were blue and not that well seen in the bright West Texas sunlight.

Ack no way... I was growing up in PA during the late 80's-90's when they used these lights... Fugly!!


Nice job on the Resto though..

Thanks for the props guys. I really don't want to get rid of it either, but I have too many other toys around here and its time to thin out the heard a little bit. I'm surprised nobody has taken it yet.
