Unfortunately, it was dusk and darker so far when I've been up there and don't even know if it's still there even though the location is only 1.5 miles from my house.

Lebanon is the only one where I have confirmed delivery of an aerial.
this is the list I have. I have a conflict in the serial # of 2 of them, but I confirmed the South Brunswick rig when I shot it.

There are TWO LEBANON's in Hunterdon... One as shown is BOROUGH. The other is TOWNSHIP which is north of this area close to the Warren County border. Numbering is 18 Lebanon Boro and 19 is Lebanon Twp. To help keep your records straight. Rich... In my visits to Clinton's station, I have never seen a Cinny cab... in photos or in person (1972 to now). They had a few commercial TASC rigs but nothing like what you describe. There was one more ALF unit I have not photographed yet out in Hunterdon... Station 26 - West Amwell took delivery of a 75 Foot Quint this summer. It is Lime with a black roof and ladder. Also it has a black background for the pump panel. This photo was sent to me by a member of Station 26 - it was the lettering layout from the artist.  
Correction made on the Lebanon Boro rig.
we shot the West Amwell rig last Saturday, to say it is nice is an understatement. It is gorgeous...

It was replaced within the past year, sold locally by the department, and then had two stints on Ebay.

Thanks. It is now gone. I should know better but since Clinton NJ is located in a county bordering my own, I thought it might be from there.

Here is BETSY ALF reg #6311[/quote] Was this bought by Flemington new in 1928? If so, it was there during the trial of Richard Bruno Hauptman for the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby!
