Re: I think I found a sterling K-5 / 5VX

wait isn't the cone top rare or something? i've looked through photos online and can't find any with the cone top. I'm pretty sure the cone itself was made by the fire department. It looks to be a completely different color from the siren itself, and this wouldn't be the first time a fire departmen...
