I'm just throwing stuff out there, but perhaps it could be better action on the reps' part?

YUCKYUCKYUCKYUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!ATI'S SUCK BUTT!!!!!!!!!! Jared, this is the Main Siren Forum. This section of ARS is publicly viewable and a professional tone needs to be used here. By not following the rules of the board, your karma rating can decline as a result and you may eventually end up being ...

For a Mod, it's mostly solid-state, except the compression drivers (which create the sound) and the electrolytic capacitors on the circuit boards, so it should be fine in extreme cold.

As for an EOWS*, they use analog tone generators which probably would be affected by temperature.

I can't help you with replacing the motor, but you can use a drill with the right socket to at least get some sound out of it.

Looks like a Whelen 3016 to me.

Just the head is a few hundred pounds. Shipping that will cost you a fortune as well.

Or a new pair of eardrums. What kind of dB rating would a Model 2 have at, say, 10 feet?

Nah, I'm sure it's a Mobil Directo. If you look at the right of the siren, you can see the gearbox that drives the rotator.

The thing is that FedSig made the 2001's dB output higher is by increasing its pitch.
