Unknown strobe

Post by 6597 »

Does anyone recognize this old strobe? Appears to have it's own power pack. Just trying to identify and find specs. Dorsal mount just to the rear of the top cabin.

If it's not this one you could probably use this to replace yours.

What do your logs say?

Close....

Exists on a new owner's plane. The globe part is kind of hazy, thought I might try to polish it out (like a lens polisher for car headlights) for clarity but if parts were available would just get a new globe.

Logs missing for an entry.

Still functions.

Poor location, the flash enters thru the skylights and is annoying at night I'm sure, someone previously 'solved' that problem with some 100mph tape in front which kinda negates about 120 degrees. Will remove tape of course....

Is that fuel tank vent on the cap correct?
