Re: Post your Mystery Sirens here.

They are sirens of local manufacturers that probably do not exist anymore since Spain and Portugal seem to have completely switched to electronic systems. They are similar to Argentinian KINGVOX sirens. http://kingvox.com.ar/producto/1tv30-si ... -exterior/

Hi there. Chances are your siren is an FM SI 36 variant, manufactured between 1935 - 1941.

Re: The 'permanent' CTI thread

Unless the motor has been changed, this siren can't be european. All sirens in Europe, France as well, use AC squirrel cage totally enclosed motors (IP 44) with connection boxes.
