Very nice job on that PA-Lite. That is the same type and color of overhead light that I had on my first sheriff's patrol car - 1973 Dodge Coronet. They worked well and were reliable, until the rubber band started slipping on them. The band could be replaced. Some of us would sprinkle a tiny bit of fine dirt on the pullies, and the grit would stop the slippage. One thing I liked about this rotating beacon lights, is how they would light up the area around the car. Strobes don't do that. The Federal Sign & Signal "Twinsonic" was a great light, which our department bought to replace the PA-Lites. Those things would light up the world with the mirrors. Our Twinsonics had split mirrors, so the reflections went to both the front and rear.
Great Job !!!!!! I rebuilt a Beacon Ray 175-H NYPD light. I'm glad there are many other people that are into restorations. You can't kill those Federal Signal lights.
Excelente trabajo colega, esas luces fueron equipo de norma en Venezuela desde finales de los años 70´s en las patrullas de la Policía Metropolitana de Caracas y la Guardia Nacional, con la diferencia que la cubierta acrílica era transparente y las bombillas en combinación roja y clara. Gratos recuerdos.
I subbed your channel about 2 weeks ago, I noticed the testors paint on your table. I make these lights in 1/25 scale for all my models. Hop over and have a look, they don't function, but they do look real. I really enjoy your subject matter.
