My Dad had an 80H on his Chief's buggy. It was similar to the first bar in the video, but with the rear flashers nestled between the V mirrors and had alley lights with factory cutouts on the ends of the domes. He did a custom white cutout on the inboard driver's side for that rotator and ultimately angled the alley lights forward and put them on a flasher for use as intersection lights. I think that's where my love of lighting came from, watching him modify that bar. One day I'll recreate it, I hope. Thanks for the great videos!
Hello i have a 80 bar with 6 spinners and the alley,td,and rear flashers .the bar was a demo that was never built as far as i no it was a demo for nys troopers, new never installed
Effective? Yes. In fact the independent rotators were out when chain drive was a thing for many other bars. Lots of options? Also yes. Combining strobes and rotators early? Yes! Some delicate and difficult to service parts? Very much yes. Ugly? that depends on your personal preference.

😎 old light bars

Great video and well done on the build. I like the old school mechanical bars.

How effective were these bars in comparison to Aerodynics and Streethawks or MX7000s?

Very effective bars just ugly, think Houston Tx PD ran these lightbars back in the day.
A variation thereof, I have one of those as well (with rear flashers replaced as with strobes) czcams.com/video/0uu2CSpuQFc/video.html
Not gonna lie, this video made me a little sad... is there still hope for my 90 frankenbar? My pile of broken dome pieces is depressing.
