NYPD Aerotwinsonic Lightbar Barn Find

Hey its Zach from 718motorpool and I just found this NYPD Lightbar that's been sitting for the past 30 years. Lets see if it works!

Excellent find, and great camera angles for showing it off too.

Your videos bring back memories of the lightbars and sirens I used to have. While driving a Nyc Transit Authority suburban I used to visit that Nyc vehicle aution on what I think was Kent ave in Brooklyn in the early 90's and purchased 4 of those Nypd Aerotwinsonics and 4 red Federal Signal Teardrop Fireballs. I still have 2 of those Fireballs. Regarding your Aerotwinsonic's flashers not working,I think the flasher is the model Wagner #537 Alternating flasher. I just subscribed.

So I never did an update of this bar but it was the 537 flasher and has since been replaced. This bar has since been restored, and I will be making a video on it in the near future.

What’s funny is growing up the “clear part” of the NYPD light bar always reminded me of the clear Gummy bears

Great, Now I can't unsee that

What has the NYPD been doing with the lightbars for the past 22 years? I havent seen then auctioned off either.

[@The718Motorpool]

They destroy them and as of the past few years reuse them, partially due to 9/11 partially due to the contract with federal
