I'm putting together another one (or two?) of my stack of lights, but found my shelves a bit light of some parts (as well as recently acquired bars sparse in a few areas). In no particular order, usable condition or better (doesn't need to be show quality):


► A pair of Streethawk lower flasher filters, any color (red/amber/green)... just trying to make a bar less blue/clear


► Long-shot before hitting eBay: a handful of Federal SW300 / SW400 switch boxes (or Fed compatible; I've got the SW300/400 rocker switches, which don't fit in the Whelen variety, sadly).


► Whelen 400 lenses (1 or 2, blue or clear, fair condition or better, doesn't matter if it's optic or not... just to keep fingers off the LEDs)


Happy to do the PayPal thing (and I'll pay the fees), or MO if you're so inclined. Thanks in advance!

Christ, is that a MX7000, it looks like a mile long, does it have it's own zip code? Can we get a close up of that puppy? :eek: :eek: :D :D:crazy: :crazy:

It's very much a "hacksaw Harry" caper: I took two regular bars, side by side, and popped off the "inner" two outer pods to make the 80" MX7000... just so every color could have its own segment. (Since then, I've skipped on the purple and just do the five typical U.S. colors using filters and inside a standard 47" long bar... also a LOT less heavy to move around.) I'd happily use the 58" for all six colors, but those are pretty tough to come by I've found.


But yes, definitely a big boy... I've never seen any 80" on anything in service around my parts (Northern California), though Los Angeles County FD runs rigs with some 91" bars (so five center segments plus the two ends). Definitely beastly!

I have a pair of NOS blue filters, and 2 pair of used amber filters, $17.50 for the lot, plus $2.50 shipping, in the continental US.


I will look this weekend for the switchboxes, I have a bunch in a box somewhere.

I'll happily stand by, thanks!


And added to my list as I've just discovered the Vector's pods are mere shells of their former selves, grrr...!
