Sorry to bump this topic, but it's finally done and has all the horns installed!

Beautiful! The Yellow seems to be a bit more 'poppy' than normal. Nice work.

Thanks! The yellow is standard safety yellow, and if you look at the other pic I shot of it with it missing a few horns yet it seems darker. It all depends on the amount of sunlight that hits it and if my camera automatically decides if it needs the flash or not.

The STH-10 was a great siren. It had a nice sound for single tone siren which carried well. Also had a nice startup and LONG winddown.

The city of Smyrna, GA(where I formerly lived) installed a system of these sirens in the 70s and enlarged it over the years. They were tested every Saturday at noon. I could hear one inside my house with the windows closed; if I happened to be outside could hear a couple more winding down at end of test.

Several years ago Smyrna disconnected the STH-10s and installed a system of Whelen Vortex sirens. Some of the Whelens stand beside silent STH-10s now.

This looks like an STH-10 I saw in Cinncinati ( spelling?) OH that was replaced by a T-128

Thanks again!

UPDATE: I installed AWG 6 wire and flex conduit today, only a 6 foot section, but it looks great! It can now be easily tested without having to open up the junction box.
