If I'm not mistaken there was a rumor a while back about the two hundred units that got shipped to Saudi Arabia, that they were supposedly never paid for, which dealt quite a financial blow to the company.

Anyway, Klaxon Signals still make them and more powerful counterparts to the original unit, so councils don't need to seek out potentially expensive repairs.
The Klaxon GP12 Siren is the present-day Carter Siren:
