Of course this does not merit any weight on the MD I feel, but last year another SD-10 was found that I forgot I took terrible phone photos of in February of 2020. This siren is off Lakewood Ave. by a house in the Polar Rock neighborhood

Wow cool vintage traffic signal control box used for the siren controls!

Atlanta did that with basically all of their older sirens for some reason. The 7 outside of College Park has one, as well as the other remaining SD-10 on Holly St.
24, and not dead yet.

So I found this in the AJC archives today. Taken on October 24, 1967 near 27th and Peachtree. You're going to want to look in the upper right corner.

And another treat for you all, I have this. This comes from the February 6, 1974 edition of the AJC featuring a close up of the Hurt Building siren.

I love Yamaha Music Sirens.

Sorry for the bump, but I had just remembered I have this screenshot from a video from YT channel V12 Productions that shows the 1003 on the Richard B. Russel Federal Building.
