Vintage Emergency lighting

Another quick overview video of a recent acquisition, and a quick Turkey Day video all in one. Code 3 PSE SD bar, 1st gen in overall pretty good shape. Previous owner did some changes but great condition for a 44 year old lightbar.

Beautiful bar here folks. Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks to my buddy down in TN showcasing an XL9K he was working on and just wrapped up. A loaded 72" amperage hog of a bar, with stingers and demonstrating the "select a lert" option for rear cutoff.

Documenting a recent acquisition. Code 3 PSE Mini SD with XL5K style rotators. Labeled Force 4, which PSE slapped on just about everything at 1 point. Unusual to find it not rebranded Galls which was also the norm for these bars as Galls would label them "Traffic Busters" or some goofy thing. This was the last reiteration of the SD bar, before its eventual discontinuation.

Nice Recent acquisition, needed to be given a bath and could still use some polish to make it pretty. Whelen AdvantEdge model number reads 425245I with a build date of July of 1998.

Decided to toss together a quick video covering the run on Model 14 Beacons I have been coming across as of late. Covers some of the variances between releases, and other beacon tomfoolery.

Interesting find here, just putting this one out to document a fairly rare beacon. McDonald and Arneson Traffic Master Model M. Circa 1950's according to what little I could find about them. Very interesting piece of history, the fluting on the glass dome really makes this light a looker.

08/12/2023 Federal Signal Model 24 EAH-T for sale. I am calling this a project bar, but in all honestly does not really need a whole lot to be 100%. Sale thread can be found here.. https://elightbars.org/forums/threads/aerodynic-24-eah-t.96896/ I can also be reached via Facebook.

Overview of an interesting JDM Patlite beacon. I love the purple color, and figured a video was in order.

Got some free time, Easter Monday and the weather is excellent. Here we have a matching set of Mini XL9Ks, their SNs are sequential. The motors show a build date of 9/19/91. Both were originally clear domes with red bulbs, I swapped out the red for blue 7400s while giving them a cleanup and polish. Enjoy!

Progress on my Arcade cabinet, working out bugs and some mechanical issues with buttons and what not. Game was released by Banpresto, but saw a US release from Fabtek in the early 90s. Monitor adjustments are complete.. Worth noting that this PCB has a dip switch that switches between English and Japanese. All this does is change the title card, this video is demoing the switch setting to English. I have promptly switched it back to Japanese. In this video I have the dip switch settings to play audio during demo, this got old quick so that got turned off.

Quick Video showing the attract mode for Aero Fighters. This is my current project as I work on something other then Light bars. I think this was taken after I cleaned about 30 years worth of some greenish and yellow gunk off the monitor itself and the glass bezel.

Another interesting light from my buddy down in TN. Federal Signal BeaconRay Model 176A, this is a matching set with both beacons with the same S/N. The 176 was the 4 lamp rotating beacon, and the A designated Pole mount. SN 2R11N68P translates to.. 12VDC, 176 model, Nov 1968.

A nice conclusion to a project my friend in TN was working on. I was able to provide him some NOS domes and those combined with what he had created this. Nice Job!

First off Happy Belated New Year folks! This is a quick overview video of a project dropped in my lap, hopefully able to be completed even with Federal Announcing the discontinuation of Aero Domes. I'm starting to make my needs list with this video a starting point to see what needs to be done.

And another great example of a bar from my buddy down in TN. The RQL series would be the curtain call for the "Halogen" line of AeroDynic. Replaced with the ADX LED series before the eventual lines discontinuation. This light would be the evolution of what the 25 CF would become, from Crossfires, to Meteors. Personal Opinion is Crossfire without a doubt, but both series were effective at their jobs.

Quick video showcasing a recent acquisition of a buddy of mine down in TN. The 25CF came in 2 series, this one is arguably the more interesting of the 2 as it sports the Cross Fire series TCL light. The later Series B variant had the Meteor series TCL lights.

Happy Post Turkey Day! Recent acquisition here, Rebranded SVP model 1168. Sho-me/Able 2 Branded light. Worth noting, that after some research the bulb in this light is a 797 Halogen bulb. I was not totally sure while making this video. This light is the Grand Child of the S&W L-11 Volunteer light, as SVP, Sho-me, Star.. etc. all came after.

Just abit of a quickie this time, was asked to use these domes to demo the LED bulbs I was playing around with. I think they work pretty well, maybe not quite H1 level of pop but they do the job.

An AeroDynic "quickie" video showcasing a cleanup and swapping of some domes. I have been sitting on this Mini AeroDynic 22H for a few years now, and I had a very "interesting" set of domes to use. Thanks to my Buddy in TN in providing them to me. Enjoy!

Overview video of the famous Federal Signal Twinsonic CTS bar. This bar was featured previously and is back in my hands temporarily. I have covered general Twinsonic questions in past videos, figured I would cover the CTS specifically since i have one at hand.

I was originally planning on keeping this short, but I think I covered enough information about this machine that it should stay pretty interesting. Odds Change, Soft and Hard Resets covered. 2003 Fujikow Thunderbirds Pachislo More information can be found here.. https://www.pachislodb.com/db-THUNDERBIRDS+3.html (you will need to sign in to see the detailed information.. its free) Also play guides can be downloaded from there. www.pachitalk.com is another site I would recommend if your into these machines.

Just a quick video giving a once over of my very first "AeroDynic". Early Generation bar, does have a TS100 speaker in it. One of the few bars that I have a link to that I have been able to acquire overtime.

Another quick video, this time showcasing the Franken Twinsonic. Continuing with the whole "After Hours" series of lights showcasing performance in a low light environment.

Straight the to the sauce.. quick video showcasing the final results of my rebuild video. The full video of the Rebuild can be found here.. https://youtu.be/Uekd1dz7H3w

Happy Belated Memorial Day! at least that was the plan when I started this video. Wrapping up a rebuild of Federal Signal Twinsonic Model 12, with some not so Federal flashers installed, hence the Franken comments. Overall I think it turned out pretty well, the Red/Blue wont be sticking with this bar, as I have another set of Domes destined for this, once I get around to getting them in presentable condition.
