I wonder where that came from then. I have tested both of them on the actual system, one works and one doesnt. I was wondering what kind of trouble shooting that can be done.

I think thats what it had before, t...

Federal type 2 restoration/ remount Completed with Video

After a meeting at the firehouse, it was decided that I could put/ restore the old siren back on the roof of both firehouses. They were removed and put in storage after being removed. In the one station, I have looked into and discovered that the alerting equipment is still plugged in and alerts, th...

STH-10 hopefully getting painted

Update: Ok, so I think I may be painting this thing in the spring. I figured I could take the projectors off and paint them on the ground, but how much does this thing come apart? Id like to take it down for a better paint job, but that may be impossible. If I can get into manageable pieces, I would...
