OK, I thought I was a genius for having an idea to do a crossbar with two Federal Signal Model 14s and a CJ184/CJ284 in the center, but I guess I'm not the only one! Very nicely built! -

Very cool! A lot of "Action" lighting going on there.... I, too, used this bar for a couple of "homebrew" setups and think they came out pretty well: the first is a Dietz 7-11 flanked by two...

Sstansdds replied to the thread Beacon Ray 173-A?.Federal Signal was not exactly perfect about following their own serial numbering system, but I'd say what you have is someone's project. I'm thinking it was a 173-A and it was missing its tag...

Wailer replied to the thread North American Signal lightbar unique custom made.I like it. But if it was mounted to a car a speaker would look better in place of the clear beacon. -
Wailer replied to the thread My First Beacon.I had two of those. I converted them to red by taping trailer light lenses overtop, and I removed the suction cups and mounted the beacons to the posts on the headboard of my bed. My fire...

Wailer replied to the thread PA 15 Director Siren.If it has wail, yelp, and alert tones, it is a PA15. I have a PDF manual for PA15 serial number F1E (c. 1966). It includes schematic and board layout diagrams.

Maxim2Eng replied to the thread Beacon Ray 173-A?.Very nice find! Yes, it appears to be an early “small dome” model, but the 4-bulb models utilized the larger (by 1/8”) dome, at least by my recollection. Could be te 173 works and upper portion of...

Interesting recent acquisition, kind of letdown that it wasn't what I was expecting.. but not too disappointed overall. Beacon Ray 173, on a stanchion mount (sp?) tag had my hopes up as it...

Maxim2Eng replied to the thread Federal Signal Blue twin sonic.So cool to find a clean blue/blue 12X! Excellent snag! OK…so the video has the bulb rotation backwards. Not saying it’s wrong, but FedSig designed the “Hand Clap” flash pattern to be from the...

I came across this little amber beacon light recently while on vacation in upstate New York. I had to pick it up because it was like one of the first lights I ever had. I ordered it in 1981 from...

Tango7 replied to the thread My First Beacon.Radio Shack sold a similar version which came with red, blue or amber lenses. Cosplaying some kind of generic space police for a convention years ago (IIRC I was 18 or 19), I built a light bar... -

ccsd834 replied to the thread My First Beacon.J.C. Whitney in the early 70s. Mine ran on three C-cell batteries. Long since gone, but like @AuroraBorealis said, I found one a few years ago on ebay, NIB. Easy find now.

AuroraBorealis replied to the thread My First Beacon.I had one on my Stingray in 1969 (pretending to be a firefighter) which probably planted the seed for future light collecting! If I recall correctly, bought mine at Rat Shack with hard earned...
