Yankee Twin Beacon bar & Federal Aero

[plybeep68]

Brought these home today, havent tested them yet, Going to be interesting finding Yankee Domes! That Aero makes the 52 inch Yankee bar look small

Two very good finds! Those 72 inch AeroHawks are not particularly common and the dual Yankee beacon bar is even more rare.

Yankee didn't build their own equipment. Some came from Unity and some from other places. Unity was bought out a few years ago and only build spotlights now. You might ask around and see who might have some Unity domes, if you can't find Yankee specifically. Other than Unity, whoever built for Yankee and Signal-Stat would be a good place to look: possibly North American who's still up and running.

Thanks Skip, I would imagine the North American domes are going to be as close as i can get unless someone has some old stuff laying around. Is the cross bar possibly a Federal item or clone?

After looking at those lights again, I'd bet that the domes that fit 184 Federal lights or for the Dietz 211 would work fine. Joe Dorgan should still have the aftermarket domes that his late father has carried for a long time.

Hard to tell about the bar, but it doesn't look Federal. Unity had some generic bars, and North American had some common bars that they sold by themselves. Could be either (maybe neither for that matter).

I'm sure that Federal 184, Deitz 211/711, and Signal stat 374 domes will interchange with the Yankee 354. The big difference is the unique shape of the top of the Yankee dome.

Hey, congrats on your find!!!!!!!

 

[rick h.]

Great find

 

[jph2]

Very nice. I'm no guru, but the red dome looks like a Federal. It would be really sweet to get good domes in clear and red like the one you've got, which I assume are Yankees. Great finds, nonetheless!

 

[toon80]

Very nice finds, on both counts! They both will turn out great once cleaned up a bit. I like the Aero!

I'll Check my cellar.


I know I bought both red and blue Yankee domed domes a few years ago.


They were NOS, and I don't think I ever put them on my Yankee lights.


I'm pretty sure I bought another NOS one from Ford-Dealer too.

I actually got them from the guy that purchased them on gov deals, I missed bidding on them by a few minutes. He did make me a good deal on them!

 

[towman88]

i thought about getting them but then said to myself i have to many lol.

 

[cook2890]

I was going to keep bidding, but after thinking about it I really didnt want to drive all the way from Murfreesboro in my beater truck with no A/C to get them, now I kinda wish I had kept bidding, since those are a couple of very nice pieces! Congrats!!
