Hi

Does anyone have an RB6 dual reflector and can you confirm if the white gear looks something like this in my pictures and does it come with the brass ring that acts as a contact for the negative brush?

I’ve been in touch with Woodway (Whelen’s UK Distributor).
They say they only show two models of RB6 and the twin reflector only has a single Halogen bulb in the middle. Not the twin sealed beams like I have.
I want to try make sure if I order the gear for the twin beam it will fit my light.
Not sure on the history of mine as it came in a lot of other lights that look to be ex display.

thanks

Thank you. I’ll go back to them with this info. I don’t believe these were sold over here so I don’t think Woodway are that knowledgeable, they’re just going to Whelen in the US.

Do you know if the RB6T looks like the one in my pictures? If I order one it’s a special order, so non refundable. I want to make sure before I put an order in.

OK, I have all 3 of those lights in my museum. None of the 3 use the same gear. Yours with the brush contact is unique to that model .
Thanks for checking. I did a bit of searching but could only get the RB6T drawings. I’ll see if Woodway can source the parts.
Thanks again, very much appreciated

Just heard back. Whelen, don’t do the spares anymore. I’ll have to try fix the one I have or see if I can get one 3D printed or if one comes up At some point.

thanks again for the info dmathieu
