How long ago did you hear that it was in a motor shop? I don't know what a motor shop would do with an old siren with a brunt up motor if it is not going back into service.[/quote]
I was reading the Sick Sirens thread
Where did you hear this? I know you like to spread stuff on Youtube that isn't true, and the same is not appreciated here.Jake_7367 wrote:The deaths of the Allertors were due to windings burning out. The motor's internals were totally unrecognizable. Last I heard, the Stangel Elementary Allertor was in a motor shop.
From the Sterling M and sick Allertor threadSpraynard wrote:I know this is kind of a late reply but I just registered. I actually took this siren apart at a motor shop I work at and what actually happened is it just burned up like hell. The copper bars within the rotor actually melted. The rings on the ends of the rotor that are actually supposed to be attached to each of those bars fell off and were just flying around nicking up the windings. It had to have gotten around 2,000 degrees or so in that motor to melt all that copper. The good news is that the siren has since been replaced with a T-128. Manitowoc is just slow at doing things but eventually, they get around to it.
