Man, I'm dying to see/hear a NYPD-spec PA300. I found nothing online. It's also seemingly impossible to find any clips of old NYPD (pre-91) Caprices or Gran Fury's responding with Signal Stats or PA300's.
Gran Furys never had PA300s. Unlike the FDNY PA300s, I don't think ours were different from "retail" versions other than the plug-in PA mic
Ah ok, interesting. I grabbed up the rarer of the two anyways, love the signal stat VII. Still wish there was some video of any of those cars responding out there.
Put up an ad in the wanted section of the classifieds here, you might luck out. I scored one last month and I'm sure there are more out there!
That compact one on the left I've never seen before, and i used to be up at their shop frequently and at one time had their catalog.
The one on the right if I remember was the 220-R, I had the combination light switching - siren version, same size with 3 toggle switches red pilot lights above each switch known as the 221-R.

Just search "vintage siren" ,"vintage siren control" ,"antique siren", "police siren", "fire siren".........you get the idea I hope.
Its an NYPD Spec MK7 in an HHC EMS Patrol (Patrol was the term for supervisors used before conditions) car. If you have the time you should check out the entire series this guy made, Its very interesting and has a good amount of 1990s NYPD and FDNY
I was always under the impression that the PA300s made for the NYPD had a peak and hold as opposed to the manual coasting down. Did the NYPD model have the silver face or the black face?

The videos are awesome. The accents, the huge portable radios, the green pants....
Yes, you are correct! I apologize, thank you for reminding me.
The NYPD PA300 was different from retail (and the FDNY version), it had an instant peak and hold(no wind up), plug-in PA mic and had the black face.

Received the Mark VII today, in a beat-up USPS box with a generous quantity of pet hair.
It is, in fact, a 24 V model (which is what the listing said, but I had my doubts about its accuracy). Appears usable, except that someone attempted a repair that couldn't possibly work (hint: both ends of a resistor need to be connected to something), so I have some work to do.

Radio Tech in case you didn't get my PM, I would love copies of the manual too please !!!! Thanks JScullion0377@aol.com

I've found a few clips of it here and there, and I wish that footage from that era was more common!
At 0:30 in the below video you can hear the Mark VII wail winding up and see an RMP go by.
At 0:17 you can hear the Mark VII in the distance, and a few seconds afterward you get a great shot of four Gran Furys jumping the curb using the momentary yelp.
At 8:22 you can see a Gran Fury with a teardrop light go by, pulsing its Mark VII's momentary yelp a few times.
Here is a clip from what I presume is an old Dutch documentary following the NYC Transit Police, prior to their takeover by the NYPD. The GMC Suburbans had Mark VIIs in them as well, and you most certainly hear them! (Click the image, it's a link.)
And lastly as a bonus, while this doesn't have an audio, it's great. See 3:10 for an old NYC-EMS bus (with a Beacon Ray up front to boot) and 5:27 for a Gran Fury.
Ordinarily during that period EMS Lieutenants ran in GMC Jimmys, not sedans like the Diplomat in this video. I imagine that in order to easily accommodate a video crew getting in and out they turned out in this Diplomat sedan rather than having to climb in and out and around the front passenger seat of a 2 door SUV.

And is the siren SS2000?
How to transfer yelp and prty into the manual mode?(The sound goes when pressed, and the sound stop when the button is lifted)
The siren is SS2000SB, in the version of NYPD.
