Looks like bay, there is no number on it. Ambulance , police? - but what year? It was sitting in a type 1 hazard switch, when I got, but I don't think it belonged to this knob. Any ideas? I can't find any references anywhere...

Yes, that one i know, a combination switch for rotor blink and sirens.
I just have never seen the one above. Maybe its just for the sirens? I have another one, thats for rotor blink only

I have both switches, but have not installed either of them. The orange alarm switch bezel that I have is on a rear defroster switch as well. The ambulance switch I have is more basic than the other one pictured on the ClassicCult website. They used this same style switch in many ambulance conversions including Mercedes.
The orange alarm switch I have never seen installed. Cool picture of the flashing light switch, what year and type is it mounted in?

Ahhh, there is another one  . Nice one. I took it apart and checked everywhere, no part number.
The rotor blink switch is sitting in a 79 latebay transporter.
That red cross switch in your treasure chest, may I see a close up of that one ? And might that be for sale? Exactly what i need for my ambulance light ...

Alright, its a temp knob, didnīt know that. What model is using that one?
Yeah, thats the one then. You can actually just buy the red cross plate for 4 Eur and use a hazard knob for it.

Not really. Almost all of it is from when I lived in Los Angeles and went to the big junk yards in Wilmington and Carson on my days off. Saving these for my 78. If something happens to me, my wife will probably just give it all away.

Yes, Gorgar, the first talking pinball machine, with a six word vocabulary. We have had lots of play on that one.
I won it from my brother in law in a bet in 1998.
