Nicely done! Did you sand/sandblast or use electrolysis for the rust removal on the horns?I'm going to attempt a restoration of a Sterling M10 when this whole pandemic runs out of steam and deer park finishes it's roadwork.

Sadly, Ohio man never made it to the 1003, as he was instead distracted by the 1000 near the corner store by Caesars Creek. Yeah at the last minute I saw this whitewashed 1000 (I took a different route to get there) and filmed that one instead. It roared and was wired correctly, at chopper level 1. ...

Northwest Hamilton County never had iForces... but there are two E-Classes along the riverfront downtown. Is this siren you're restoring the Sterling M that was on top of the Deer Park fire station/village hall in recent years? You're right about the I forces not sure what I was thinking. I knew we...

I was planning on restoring it and donating it to the historical society. As for Liability the city doesn't care. The city manager said a scrapper called about it, promised to take care of it and 5 years later it's still there. If I can get the siren off the roof it's mine no charge. As for how I ge...

Despite COVID 19 I want to restore and preserve the Deer park fire siren. Sharonville, Blue Ash, Reading,Glendale, and West Chester no longer have their fire sirens so this one's kind of special. It was also placed in service in 1923 when Betty White was 1 year old. I can handle rust and am aware th...

Well, I know where I'm going this Wednesday. Thanks everyone.

Huh. I had no idea werden went that far north. Makes sense, they have a stack of Thunderbolts and thunderbolt accessories out front last I checked.

Does it ever do alternate wails or do they use this like it's a stock 1000?

I went for a drive 35 miles north and saw a healthy looking thunderbolt 1003 at the Massey township government building. It's almost that time of the month again and I was considering going back up to watch it go off since I've never heard a thunderbolt in person. Does anyone know if this is still a...

Where in Ohio is this Sterling at by chance? I know there's a handful of M series units scattered across the state. In my county (Greene), there is an inactive unit located atop a building in the Village of Jamestown, which was replaced with an STH-10 in 1996. I can't think of any other roof mounts...

So my Friendly neighborhood city Manager said I could have the 97 year old sterling M10 that's been dormant since I was born (1999) for FREE if I can get it off the fire station. So before I get too excited, How much does one of these things weigh? My quarter ton truck can tow 2500 pounds. It can ca...
