Whelen 5200 Commander

This is my latest acquisition, a vintage Whelen Model 5200 "Commander" strobe beacon. The red dome is only temporary while the blue dome that will be displayed on it gets a professional polishing/buffing. This type of light was very popular with the Connecticut State Police who used them on the center of a removable roof-mounted crossbar flanked by metal plates spelling out STATE POLICE with a rear facing PAR46 strobe head on each end.
