Re: Los Angeles CD siren system
Are there any operating 500 sirens in the US that we know of?

Dundee, MI still uses theirs. Topeka, KS and Abilene, KS also have a 500ATs still in use.

Re: Los Angeles CD siren system
The only 500 I personally know of, which was still operational and tested regularly is in a little town east of Reno, NV, and that one is a 550 ( "sunflower" with dual heads). I'm reasonably sure there are others as well, because they're not as old as T-Bolts on average, and they're basically similar, and as functional and up-to-date as a 2001, other than the DC backup capability.Remingtoncountry wrote:Im referring to the sunflowers, 500T's

Yes, that's a real 500-lb Federal SD-10 I'm holding (braggart!)
