I Have here a recent craigslist find for sale or trade. I have here a Code 3 PSE Code 3 XL 9000 Select-a-lert with California specs. This rare gem was from a retired police officer from the Fountain Valley, CA. police dept. He said he got it in 1990. There is some kind of mark inside the light bar from '88, maybe 1988. I also have the Unitrol siren amp/light controller that was used to control the light bar. I am not sure if the siren works, but have no reason not to believe it does not. I just did not have a speaker (nor does the light bar) to test it.
When connected to the controller, sliding the three stage lever to stage one illuminates the rear flashers only (One function the "Select-a-lert" feature is rear flasher mode. In this mode, the rotators completely rotate as they normally would but only illuminate the lamps when they pass through the rear amber cut-out in the dome). Move the lever to stage two, and the front facing red steady burn lamp illuminates with the rear flashers. Finally moving the lever to stage three, and the rotators completely illuminate with the front facing red steady burn and rear flashers. Another feature of the "Select-a-lert" system is the alley light function. When you switch on one of the alley light rocker switches in the controller, the rotators stop in a specific spot completely, but are still fully illuminated. The alley light bulb, in the outer rotator, stops directly facing sideward ("home") and illuminates (This alley light bulb does not illuminate in any other mode otherwise).
The light bar is in great condition for its age. It rotates very fast and smooth. All the lamps work as well. The domes do have some crazing and a few cracks. They should polish up really good though. There is no speaker included. The controller works as far as controlling the lightbar, but like i said earlier, i never tested the siren. Should work though. The light bar is bolted to a board currently and can be easily removed. Sorry no video at this time, you will have to take my word for it LOL!
I am open to all offers at this time. Trade or Sell. PM me with your offer! I am not in a rush here LOL.
