Do you have any whelen 99 series domes or beacons available for sale by chance?

I can remember that light bar on a 1968 Plymouth sport Fury fire chief car that my town had when I was little

do you still have this? would you want to sell it?

Very nice mini light bar

I have 2...

The **NYPD Mini Aero** likely refers to a compact, drone-like aerial vehicle (possibly a small UAV or UAS) utilized by the New York Police Department (NYPD) for surveillance, search and rescue, or other law enforcement purposes. Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have become increasingly important tools in modern policing, especially in a densely populated and urban environment like New York City. ### Potential Uses of NYPD Mini Aero: 1. **Surveillance**: Monitoring large crowds during events, protests, or parades. 2. **Search and Rescue**: Assisting in locating missing persons in hard-to-reach areas. 3. **Traffic Monitoring**: Providing aerial views of traffic congestion or accidents. 4. **Crime Scene Investigation**: Capturing aerial footage of crime scenes for documentation and analysis. 5. **Disaster Response**: Assessing damage after natural or man-made disasters. 6. **Tactical Operations**: Assisting SWAT or other specialized units in real-time surveillance during high-risk operations. ### Features of Police Drones (Like the Mini Aero): - **Compact Size**: Easier to deploy in urban environments. - **High-Resolution Cameras**: For detailed video capture. - **Night Vision and Thermal Cameras**: Useful for nighttime operations or thermal imaging. - **GPS and Autonomous Flight**: Allows for precise navigation and tracking. - **Real-Time Data Streaming**: Feeds live footage to command centers or officers in the field. ### Privacy and Legal Concerns The use of drones by law enforcement agencies, including the NYPD, often raises concerns about privacy and civil liberties. Regulations and protocols are typically in place to ensure drones are used in accordance with legal standards. If you're referring to a specific model or more detailed aspects of the **NYPD Mini Aero**, feel free to clarify, and I can provide more precise information.

That's a very nice find.

Thanks for the Blue end. So for my jetsonic!

Thank you for the comparison.

I absolutely love these things, this year, I started a new collection of both halogen and led lightbars, and I've also been experimenting with both halogen and LED H1 bulbs as well. Keep up the awesome videos, all the best Alex.

Very nice classic lightbar.🫡🫡👍👍

Is this for sale or do you know where I can get one as I'm doing a Smokey and the Bandit Buford cop car replica build on my channel?

Just got the same bar from another collector. Was on a fire truck in Alabama and taken off and sat in storage for 30yrs. Guy who sold it to me had in his collection for a few years and now I have it. Domes are in almost perfect condition. It's a beautiful lightbar!

I have a Federal Signal 14sb. Do you recommend any specific power converter so that I can run it in my home looking for something I can plug into the wall

Less talk, more lights. No one really wants to hear you ramble on for minutes.

Where can I get amber domes? I have a wrecker light bar just the domes on it are in bad shape

Cool light! I have a light like yours in I bought new at a JC Penny's auto center in 1978 for $28. I have the box and fabric flash shield that came with it. It originally had a blue dome and incandescent bulb. I changed it to a amber dome and halogen bulb. So far, no melting issues.

Nice light, The gear drive system looks identical to what was used in the smith and wesson lights.

In New Zealand a pilot vehicle would use amber & purple flashing lights for over size loads.

Squad 51's lightbar

Too much downtime between flashes. Federal should've done a much better job of staggering them.

I just bought one of these today…my first slot machine. Thanks for the video! Super helpful.

Gotta love the aerodynics. My personal favourite is probably the whelen edge 9000. I'm a big fan of strobes!

Reminds me when I was with the fire dept

Very nice light

I had one on my police car in the early 90’s (full size) and loved it!

What do you use to clean or sand the lenses?

i "grew up" with the 2E sound, the best IMO.

Thank you Valkyrie for another great and informative video! I love your passion about old stuff and I can certainly relate to it (-:

God I love the lower pitch of the 2D

Pancake light...lube gears sound better. Early 80's cool light in great shape.

Like the 2 E that's what a siren should sound like... Got a smith &wesson model 800 if like to trade.. Nothing like the interceptor had 2D but thru years has disappeared ?

Looking forward to the end result.

I feel like cherry jello all of a sudden.

I grew up in Western Europe. We only had two colour beacons, amber or blue. I had never seen a red beacon before until I came to North America at age 15. I was mesmerized by the red flashes. 😅

Bro.... there are several locations that I should be seeing things flashing from...... and I am not LOL

Man, that first one sounds great. I love that manual.

Hello, do you have any module mounting brackets for a jetstrobe mini with LED technology?

If you have vacuum tubes, you might need to shunt those extra connections in some way. When vacuum tubes were used, Motorola microphones had hangup boxes with a green and black wire protruding from it. When you took the microphone off the hangup box, it would allow the transmit tubes to come on. They would turn off when you hang up the microphone for longevity. Also, typically, A PA Microphone isn't the Motorola one. Those are typically for the two way radios and the PA has a separate microphone. Likely something plastic that had the FS logo or name on it. Also, depending on configurations, different connections could be required for the PA function, which allows the radio to receive over the P.A. so they could hear calls back then, as they didn't have portable radios. There would also typically be separate speakers for the P.A. so that the siren and PA can work independently of the other, if that makes sense.

I had a very similar bar years ago. Mine had red lenses with clear end caps. Where the takedown are, I had stingers with clear cutouts on the front, and amber cutouts on the rear over white bulb flashers

Very cool!

Back in the day, I had a Code3 XL. My version was all sealed beam, 4 dual bulb rotators and the two cut outs on the front were for Stingers. Mine was all red, and I swapped out the end caps to clear to serve as intersection sweeps. I loved that old bar.

Just acquired one of these on a wrecker bed I have but I have no idea how to run it

I'm curious as to why both front alley mirrors are missing. Seems like it was intentional to increase foward warning.

Exactly the bar I’m looking for, with the exception of candy cane domes and no alleys. Let me know what you’re thinking of if you let it go

Old school, but great and efficient 😊 Would still make the job with a TS100 speaker and a PA300 Siren.

I know this video is a tad old and the market has changed, but what is a good approximate value for a nypd aerotwin? I don’t want to go looking for one and be way low or way high. If anyone knows it’ll be you

Time to bring back an old topic, those black bears live to shrink, at least in the 25 I just got, they all shrunk. I’m hoping to find replacements of some kind for them

Theres one in pasadena ca at pasadena antique warehouse. It works off cards and they count balls for prizes.
