Yep, it's an RM-130, on a rectifier. Yes it was loud.

Congrats on your new siren. I remember the system of RM-130s in Fond du Lac, WI. Very loud sirens despite their small size, and pretty reliable in service. There weren't many changes in production during the ASC years besides the use of a very slow rotator on some of the later batches. Most RM-130s spin at about 3.5 RPM but the ones in Fond du Lac spun at just 2.

This siren is actually bigger than I thought it was going to be. It has a 16 inch rotor vs the 14 inch rotor of a 2001. The horns are pretty neat, they definitely work. I'm going to overhaul it and rewire the control circuit since I'm not using the compulert, which is overly complicated.

Isn't this the siren that the geek group has?

Yes

Holy cripes, that's 2001 territory of scream right there! Only nine ports, what a beast!
