Re: Biersach & Niedermeyer Mobil Directo.

Other then the remaining siren on Green Tree and the one that was salvaged near the Marquette Interchange does anyone know the original locations of the Mobil Directos in Milwaukee?

Re: Federal Enterprises

Finding 220 is not the problem, blasting it in a residential area is.

Re: Federal Enterprises

I got a new set of brushes installed today. Did a quick 120 volt bump which produced a nice growl followed by a longer blast. Now I will need to get out somewhere I can let her rip at 220! It has been 25+ years since I recorded one of the Milwaukee model 2's and it still amazes me on how loud these ...

Re: Federal Enterprises

This is why I was asking. I was able to make the deal and get this one home today. From what I was told it is off of the original Wilmot Fire House that was built in 1942. The guy I got it from had it in storage for the last 15 years.

Re: Milwaukee WI Tornado Warning Ambiance

In Oak Creek it was about 15 minutes after the first warning was issued before the sirens went off. I don't think they even went off for the second warning. One of the new sirens has not worked since it was installed in July.

Re: Oak Creek WI P 50

Only one of the 3 failed. It stopped rotating. The city said they wanted to replace the other 2 before they failed. The one that failed was in rough shape even though they were all installed around the same time. It was in a much more open area and the fiberglass horn had several holes in it.
