Ok, so I just got back from west shore services, and I got 2 free controllers, and this beast! It even has new bearings!

Wow, that is smaller than I expected. How much did it set you back? Also, would you mind if I send you a PM with questions about WSS and your experience there? I want to go soon but want to see what I would be dealing with if I go.

Very nice! When I went to West Shore Services I Was planning to try and get one of these or a banshee, but then I saw a STL-10 I said yes before I even thought about it. It has been fun with the sirens I got from Jeff, but one is three phase and the STL-10 has a single phase motor beyond repair XD. But I am thankful for what I have, and I hope you have fun with your new siren. :)
Happy and slightly confused owner of a STL-10, Whelen wps-2905, Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000, and a Federal Enterprises Model-2

Wow... That must be you next to the housing... I know mine has a pretty tall roof mount but the thing stands almost as tall as me and I am 6'2? 3? 4 maybe?
Own and love a Thunderbolt 1000 and a Model 5.

I have many hobbies and interests. And I love them all.
