Found a VASCAR on ebay about to end at a good price. Looking at the article, it appears that the VASCAR in this car was one that had the different size "plus" on it. Where it says "VASCAR plus" and the others have VASCAR PLUS". This one about to end has both words the same size on the front. Did that denote a different model or something? Or is that just splitting hairs and as long as I have a VASCAR in it it's good?

Here's the link.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vascar-Plus-...item2a2cc9603a

I worked with FHP guys in the 90s that made under 30k per year.

duh !! if that speaker was white I would have seen it. I totally missed it.

I wouldn't do cop work part time for 30k. That is craziness right there.

I wouldn't worry about which version of the Vascar Plus you use. They were all the same and I would imagine that FHP had both.

Sounds good, thanks as always for the advice!

But does it need to have a connector on the back like this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vascar-Plus-...item3cd1894b11

do you have a two piece vascar cable on the car? Are you planning on making it operational? If the answer to those questions is yes, then yes you will need the pigtail, plus numerous other parts to make it work.

I have no plans on having "operational vascar" in any of my restorations so I myself am more concerned with having a mint unit to install in the car.

Well, I was considering it but the VASCAR stuff has all been removed from the car previously. So I think I'll just do as you suggest and just find a good unit to install. Thanks again!

Wow suprised it's that low.

our illustrious Governor is trying to lower it by making them pay 3% into their retirement.

16.33 and hour base. Shameful

a 12 volt 3 way cig plug mounted on side of console.

Looking over the pic again....does it seem like the micor is a good bit thicker than it should be to be just the single head? But it doesn't appear to be a clamshell because the bottom unit is usually shorter....maybe the pic is just playing with my eyes.

I'm also wondering what the unit above the Micor is? Is that the siren? Seems to be a little longer and thinner than my PA300....I don't have a PA200 to compare though.
