So as a few of you guys know, I am starting to restore my P-15. The plan is the have it completly restored, and mounted on an old Jet-ski trailer. It is a work in progress, so I will post new pictures every once in a while. So without further adue, here are the pictures so far:

What are the dimensions of the fiberglass horn on a P-1X like that? Is it bigger than a Model 2 housing, or not?

Here is the siren as of tonight. I finally got the bottom fiberglass shroud off of the turntable which was a royal PITA. But I got it out and cleaned off the grease which seemed to be unscrubbable. Anyways, here are the pics:

Turntable and bearing:

Looking very good! I'm glad my logo is finally going to use. I could find a single logo so I just decided to make my own based on a picture of the logo from a brochure.

The P-15s horn is about 38 inches in diameter. Depending on what you're measuring on the model 2, you could probably fit 2 1/2 housings from the 2 inside the P-15.

Is the horn of a P-10 the same size as that of a P-15? If not, how big is it?

Yeah, a P-15 housing is pretty chunky.

What did you do to prep it for paint?

Light sanding and primer.
