Bay City EOWS 812s

[nvanw27]

Yeah there still there. But if I were to choose one ,Id choose the one that has its Siratone still mounted on the pole. The one that has the the SRNB next to it has its Siratone long gone. I also hate to go off topic for a sec but the siren you see in my avatar was made by SoCal Edison electricity here in southern california for the SONGS plant. What angers me is the people at SONGS decided to scrap those unique gems that they designed when they upgraded to Whelen 2810s and 2806s in March 2006. I do own one from the designer but it needs motors and the horns and frame assembly made for it. If your curious about it and what info about them ,just pm me. Also agian sorry for going off topic. But it just angers me when people destroy unique or one of a kind sirens.

When you say "Long gone", what do you mean? Do you mean internal condition or actually removed and scrapped? The other replies are reassuring and much appreciated.

The unit by the 2001 doesn't have it's SiraTone controller, where the other 2 units do.

Two?

Oh wow ,I didn’t know there was a 3rd one.

[Bdesantis5632]

Well the third one took me by surprise! I'm having second thoughts about contacting the city now. I still would like to acquire one of these, but perhaps worrying about that should wait for another time.

[Duderocks5539]

I would get one down with the Siratone probably quickly. You never know when a city will just remove a siren out of the blue ,so If you want one ,the sooner the better. And plus you can hook the Siratone up to the Sheldon park 612 from the 812 if you want ,or If you dont want to do that ,you can just get a controller for the 612 but I would get a Siratone if you can find one since that would be the appropriate controller since the Sheldon 612 used a Siratone.

So Bay City still wanna keep it up for some time? If there's no sirens in the vicinity and seems disconnected, they'll better take it down, or hook it back up.

P/S I love the sound of a Dual Tone Ultravoice.

Their 812s have been abandoned in place for quite a while. They just built their current system around them and the new sirens just took over their coverage areas.

Hmm... Their 812s can serve for voice capabilities, such as telling what kind of emergency it is or saying that they're testing?

They replaced them with better equipment. It's better to leave them as is as they have other electronic sirens which can do voice announcements instead. The controllers on the 812s had to have a physical connection to a radio and that was an optional extra.

Unless they got the optional radio PA system in the SiraTones, or did a custom thing, those aren't going to do anything unless you plug in a mic and speak into it.
