At least it's going to a good home. I'll find one someday when the money's burning a hole in my pocket.
And when that time comes I will probably still have more of these than my wife thinks is appropriate and will be able to help you find out.

I own zero 8000 series bars and my wife probably thinks that's too many!
I think the number of vintage lights I own became an issue when the fourth digit rolled over on the total collection. I really need to organize, I have ten or more half finished projects that I don't have room to work on.

The only lightbar in my collection that I have multiples of (other than for parts or resale) are Whelen Responders. They came in so many variations and a whole bunch of different ones were available to me during my peak collecting period that I couldn't help myself. I still don't have all the Responders I want for my collection, either. The triple rotator Responders always seem to elude me, much like the triple Dashmisers. And I just want one damn AdvantEdge, but I haven't seen one for sale in over 6 years.

I just got one more responder I didn't have, I own about 100 responder bars now. I might have an extra 3 rotator one somewhere too but I think all my 3 rotator ones have different rotator or dome styles (meaning I want both).. I am only missing a few bars now... see below for what I got and what I need... they are similar.

Dammit, now there are a few more to add to my need list. I have a later style version of the top model (outer dome like the bottom pic but both strobes have standard lenses, not beehive shaped), but no strobe and rotator combos (except for a couple of very early Responders with the PAR36 strobe in the center). I believe I have examples of all three rotator styles and all three outer dome shapes.

Yeah, there were a lot of types between Austin and Whelen. When you take frame and rotator types into account you get almost 4 times the number of models. The ones I pictured with the self contained 1000 series 360 strobes were pretty terrible compared to a true respond-a-strobe and the models with two 360 strobes sharing a power supply. They were apparently popular enough to be offered in both the last year of the old style dome/rotator and the first year of the large dome with the advantage gen 2 rotators. I believe they were phased out before the next rotator type.

PS - sorry for hijacking this thread but I did offer to buy the item for sale.
