No sorry only shot I got. 

@Anesti do you have any interior or compartment shots of this rig? Just wondering what they changed around after buying it.  
 
This rig originally served as Rescue 6 in Park Ridge, NJ before being bought by Walden, NY in 1997 as their first rescue. 

Ex Walden,NY
1987 Chevrolet/Swab

I think the new one has a kind of high pitched almost tinny sound. The old one had more bass to it. 

We recently put into service new Scott Air Packs.  One of the most notable things about it is that the PASS alarm volumes are lower than our older units.
 
We put the packs in different locations in the training house and sent members in to locate them.  The volume of the older units would drown out the sound of the newer SCBAs.
 
To get more of a side by side comparison, we'd put the packs next to one another - both inside and outside the building - and noticed a marginal difference.
 
This is in no way a knock on the new units, and in no way is this a real "study," but this is definitely something we all should be weary of.

Tenafly  Bergenfield South Hackensack Carlstadt (Mack Cf) Glen Rock  & Fort Lee all in bergen county all ran snorkels back in the late 60's though 80's One of my favorites was Seaside Park NJ's 1982 Mack CF 1500 /500 / 55 foot  snorkel  also remember when they were training with it at the DPW Yard when they first got it I actually got to see it work a fire in seaside park at Avanti's Bayview restaurant 

 
In Rockland County,hillcrest fd ran a 1962 internationall chassis w/ a 65 ft pitman boom which was replaced in 1977 by a Hendrickson chassis/pierce body/65 ft snorkel boom; Nanuet and Tallman ran mid 60's young crusader chassis models:75 and 65 ft respectively; suffern fd ran an alf 90 ft on a century chassis from the early to mid 60's era

Picture of the Snorkel after it left Newburgh.  With lots of wires and narrow streets, it didnt stay here long, and went to Monticello next.  How long they had it, I do not know. Poughkeepsie had one for a short time too

This picture shows the Snorkel, along with the rest of the in service ( at the time) American LaFrances.

 That's it ASF1970.
 
 Yes, the mini pumpers were a big selling point for being able to go into parking garages. Also as you say, I don't Remember any rescue 1 being there at the time.
 
 I didn't know that the telesquirt for Engine 1 came from E 71. Or that Rescue 1 was the old Rescue 66.
 
 Also, during that time Downtown Stamford became a large high rise cooperate headquarters area replacing the older buildings of the downtown area.

This was the Snorkel that Newburgh tried. With lots of wires and narrow streets, it only stayed a short time. It then went to Monticello, I don't know how long the kept it though. 

The telesquirts in Stamford were assigned to E4 & E5. At one point these were also 5 man companies, due to being the only rigs at the time alone in a station. E4 had a Mack CF and E5 had a Hamerly. Later on E1 in Stamford briefly used a Pierce telesquirt that had been in service in Long Ridge as E71. The 5th men on E4 & E5 I believe became part of the additional manpower on T2 & T3 when they finally became 4 man companies. There are no longer any telesquirts in service in Stamford.
 
The mini pumper at Stamford HQ was the predecessor to R1, at least manpower wise. From what I understand it was bought because it could fit into parking garages. That crew became the original R1,Riding Turn of River's old R66 that went to Stamford in the early 1980's.
 
 

 
 Regarding Telesquirts, Stamford also had two. I think Engines 4 and 5. At one point, I think one of those pieces was also used for a period of time out of headquarters as Squad 1, part of a two piece mini/maxi company using a mini pumper as well.

Springdale Snorkel is 65 foot
