My new Model A

Tue Oct 14, 2014 1:40 pm

Hello I bought this siren in April and had an hour today to clean it up. This siren was acquired on eBay in April and has been sitting in my garage until today. I have already tested the motor and it is fine. Let me know what you think I need to do to it. Thanks :D .

The siren looks like its in really good condition!
It took a lot of scrubbing with some steel wool and WD-40 it originally was covered in chicken poo :lol: . And I bought an extension cord and dimmer switch to control it.

1976 or later is my guess on it's age judging by the ID tag logo
Ripe old age of 26.
1950 Model A, 1979 AF Timer, 30 something ID tags, some other odds and ends
