Bay City EOWS 812s

Tue Aug 28, 2018 10:00 pm

I made a post about this before but I'd rather start a new topic rather than bump an old topic. I was told that there are 2 EOWS 812s remaining in Bay City, possibly even the country. This has been bothering me lately, especially ever since my favorite siren a few miles away just got removed and scrapped. Does anyone know about what the future for the 812s are? If they are planned to be taken down soon, I was hoping to save one from the scrap pile. The EOWS 812 siren is obviously a large and kinda illogical siren, but just too unique and rare to deserve scrap. Just checking for any possible knowledge of their status.

you can go to the city and ask but you will have to pay for it. and you will need a place to keep it. but there are also ones a WSS.

Contacting the city was my first thought. I visited WSS a few weeks ago and they had just scrapped their 812s and some of their 612s. I have good connections with WSS and their employees and could easily get a siren from them. My biggest concern is knowing when the sirens are due for removal, so I would know when to contact anyone about it.

Due for removal? at the time of the street view that was taken there probably looooong gone by now.

That's a very good point. If that's the case, they're definitely scrapped. I was hoping anyone in the Bay City area here could confirm.

There was an ambience video taken recently (compared to Google photos) of a 3012 and a 2001. The cameraman panned over to the two and also showed a very shakey 812 some metres away from the 2001. I have a feeling they're still there.

Yes, they are still there. A contact of mine in the Clare/Bay City area has confirmed that. they probably have no plans of taking them down, as they cause no real harm remaining up. They may come down someday, but they're still up and will remain that way for years.

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.
My knowledge excels on the Federal Thunderbolt siren and SiraTone EOWS sirens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
