Second time for me ;)

Waiting for Siren_Dude to see this. He probably needs one of these for his collection.

As noted in my thread, the General Supply Company imported these sirens from B&N as kits which were then assembled in Canada. All looks to be the same as the USA Mobil Directos aside from the motor.

This Mobil Directo deserves a new coat of paint.

Good heavens, and I thought the half of an Allertor I found off a street in small town Kansas was big...

Wonder where this guy came from.

Nice find! Is is a 8 port or a 10/12 port model?

It looks to be all intact.

Judging by the data plate reading "BN44EDT" (E=electric; DT=dual tone), this one is a 10/12 port model.
