Re: Weltex Sirens?

I seem to keep finding out more about these sirens. I have heard that they were actually custom built for the system of Oregon City, Oregon, and then were given out to fire stations when the system was removed, which might explain why there are more of these(6) then there are ACA sirens(4) then ther...

Re: Astoria, Oregon Thunderbolt?

Oh that was a quick response! The Whelen's should be within the city. The article doesn't talk where exactly. Article linked below! https://www.dailyastorian.com/news/loca ... ad1b8.html I know, I have it set up so I get an Email every time, and I use Bluetooth headphones that have volume issues so...

Re: Astoria, Oregon Thunderbolt?

I have a great feeling that Warrenton received the Thunderbolt. Generally looking the geography and everything, Warrenton is basically the central zone for Hammond and Astoria. Now fast-forwards to 2018. In that year, 2018, Warrenton received 6 Whelen sirens from a decommissioned military site and ...

Re: Astoria, Oregon Thunderbolt?

I’m not asking anyone to go there, I’m just wondering if anyone would happen to know anything about this siren, as I am working on a map of Oregon sirens.

Astoria, Oregon Thunderbolt?

So, my last topic about this seems to have mysteriously disappeared without notification, so I am making a new one. I have heard of the possibility that there may be a Thunderbolt in Astoria, Oregon. There are other posts about this on the board, but none are newer than 2015. Apparently, the siren w...

Re: Darley Model 3 or 2?

How rare are they? Because there are like 3 or 4 of them within an hour drive of me, and I can’t find many videos of them.

Darley Model 3 or 2?

So this is probably gonna sound stupid, but I don’t fully know the difference between a Darley Model 3 and 2. So the map that I use claims that all these sirens are model 3s: https://goo.gl/maps/vpbScSgijqMZbajz9 https://goo.gl/maps/qaKCCNxa5YfsDWXz5 https://goo.gl/maps/msujACnnvxcM2sL47 And that’s ...

In Eugene, Oregon. Possibly a Modified K-5? As there is a modified K-5 in another town(Estacada) that looks very similar.

I’m proud of it but I’ve been working on it so much that I’m starting to get sick of looking at it.

Re: Siren Manuals

Anyone potentially have the manuals/specs for the Whelen WPS-2016 and the ESC-864? I am looking to buy one soon and I want to know how big and heavy the things are so I know how much space I need to clear. I’ve already cleared some space, but I’m worried it may not be enough.
