The other one is in Afton, Wyoming and looks rather rough. https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/3570226 ... n?h=1b8afc
I also found a Sentry in Alpine, but I don't know the models. I'm guessing a 10V2T, but I have no idea. Can someone explain their naming system? https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/3570226 ... y?h=3cfe73

Second one is a Darley Model. Patton used to have one until it was scraped when the county got their new radio system, and they still use their low tone sterling, but I can see Atton's is a high toned sterling.

I took that picture btw, anyways that Vertical Sterling sounds like a 16 port Horizontal one, I hear it every time the county sets it off.Sirenguy02 wrote:The 2nd pic is a Sterling Vertical.

How can I tell if these are model 5s or model 7s? The red one on top of the fire station is still in use for fire calls and I THINK weather warnings. The grey one is decommissioned and I am trying to get a hold of it to restore it. The red one is single-toned but the grey one was put out of service before I moved in so I'm not entirely sure. It looks older and could be a different model but the one on the fire station is probably regularly serviced while the grey one hasn't been touched since the cold war ended.

You can also sometimes tell between a dual tone and single tone if it is close enough, the stators are pretty easy to see in them.Sirenguy02 wrote:Usually a Model 7 is taller then a Model 5.thewoog34 wrote:How can I tell if these are model 5s or model 7s?

Okay, so the first one is a Darley 2V8, second is another Darley model, but what is the Sentry? (I want to know what it is before I post it...)Kasm279 wrote:Went on a siren hunt last weekend and found two mysteries.

The Sentry is just what you suspected it is, a 10V2T. There's a slim chance it could be a 10V1T (double 8 port rotors), but it's a safe bet that it's dual toned since a single tone-double rotor one is rare to come across.Kasm279 wrote:Okay, so the first one is a Darley 2V8, second is another Darley model, but what is the Sentry?

How old is that series? I ask because the wires at the base of the pole (as you can see in one of the pics) are cut.mr_thunderbolt1003 wrote:The Sentry is just what you suspected it is, a 10V2T.
