    I got a NAS lightbar rack item number #60AAB-153C with endcaps and installation sheet. The idea was born to create a custom made lightbar with beacon lights and flasher. Of course with NAS...

    The base was painted red, not sure why. Hence why the tag is red. The rig it came off was an absolute mess..

    Don't be too disappointed--a great find even if it's a bit discombobulated! Gary Cahill at Rescue Market probably has a correct tag for it although who's going to really know except you (and the...

    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...

    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!
  • OliverD
    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...

    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...

    I like it. But if it was mounted to a car a speaker would look better in place of the clear beacon.

    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.

    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...

    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...
