What has become of the EOWS 812?

Thu Aug 09, 2018 2:39 am

So I visited West Shore Services today to pick up a thunderbolt 1000t. While I was there, I noticed the yard was much emptier than my previous visit last year while getting an EOWS 612. MY fears of the 612s and 812s being scrapped had proven right, and they were mostly gone. They had recently acquired a bunch of EOWS 612s and were quickly scrapping them. As for the EOWS 812s, they were nowhere to be seen. As far as I know, they were the last ones in existence. Does anyone know where there may be possible EOWS 812s still standing or privately owned by someone?

There is two 812s still standing in Bay City Michigan ,one is located at the Bay City community center and was replaced with a 2001-SRNB which stands right next to it and it has its Siratone cabinet gone. The other one is located off of Harrison St and 33rd St and it is inactive and it still has its Siratone but at the base of the pole you can see cut wires :cry: There was also one in Burton Kansas but it was replaced with a 2001-130 ,but there is a video of it going off on youtube.

I'm not really surprised that they were scrapped. Those 812s were in poor shape and I'm sure Jeff had the prices jacked up on them anyways. I heard a rumor once that they were going to make them lawn decorations, but that obviously never happened. It's sad that there are only 2 left in the world though and to make it worse, only one of them still has a controller. Someone should seriously hit up Bay City and nab their 812s. I really don't want to see a siren model go completely extinct, especially part of my favorite electronic siren series.
My knowledge excels on the Federal Thunderbolt siren and SiraTone EOWS sirens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
