T128 history

[p50needsablower]

Hello , Near me i have some old generation t128s and i would like some help in witch when they were installed.

Im sorry if I have violated rules i won't do it again

Your'e not supposed to violate the rules in the first place. I doesn't seem like your'e off to a good start on here. That point aside, they were probably installed in or around the mid to late 90's would be my guess if they are first generation units.

Yes i know i'm new and im 13 and my violation was because i thought someone posted something on my post about something else and then i said Im sorry im not your guy for this and then i got a private message... now i feel so bad

If my years are correct, the T-128 came out in 1998.

Here is something that shows an early prototype. (If I remember correctly)

I think this one was made before the T-128 actually began production.

Ah yes the famous hawk video
Is the siren still up?

The first T-128 was installed in Random Lake, WI.
It looked the same as a normal T-128 besides the horn shroud's lips being lined in dark gray.
ASC replaced it with a production T-128. Here's a photo of the first T-128.

Dale A. Moeller commissioned the Tempest siren lineup, although it's been said that Jim Biersach helped out with the actual siren design.
From 1998 to 2006, ASC had a cartoon mascot named "Earl E. Warning" (AKA Big Mouth) to promote the Tempest sirens.
They even sold a mouse pad showing Earl alongside twisted cartoons of a Whelen 4004 and Federal 2001 siren.

If I recall correctly, the very first T-128s were somehow called Excel T-128s. There's one in Harrison Township, Ohio west of Cincinnati.

There may be a few around my area too, but they may have been restored T-128s done by Fulton...
