Ok, Here is a couple of pic's of a sd10 with the screen I picked up about a month ago from a demolition contractor in Fontana Calif. It was part of the L.A. CD system.I was told it came from the corner of 3rd and bixel. maybe some of you from the southland know where that is.I would think it is a e...

Which commercial was it? There are a ton of those SD-10s in the older parts of Los Angeles (the 500T shows up in neighborhoods that were built up in the 50s & 60s). I've never seen a black-painted one, but they ALL need paint :( ... If I see the commercial, I might figure out which location it w...

It wasn't ACA's thinking it was Biersach Niedermeyer. The original name for that siren was the Mobil Directo. This ad was in the Sept. 1953 issue of Fire Engineering.

I did a quick Google search and a local search here, but came up empty. I'm going to be there this coming weekend for the big Hot August Nights car e...

Great job in getting hold of that siren! I bet it would have gone to the metal yard otherwise, and never be seen or appreciated again. You certainly put a lot of effort into chasing the right people on this one! Did they grant you full ownership of this T-bolt? You mention that the plan is for it to...

i own an 1985 mercedes benz 300D with 261k on it. Welcome! And a SPECIAL welcome as a fellow Diesel owner (I have Toyota Diesels)... Your reasons for being fascinated with sirens are similar to what got me to this board and this hobby... Here in Los Angeles, they tested the sirens every last Friday...
