Saaaaay looks to me like you got one with stainless steel housing! If so then as far as I know (and please someone correct me if I'm wrong) you are the second here on the board to own a stainless model 5. I think yours truly here is the first? (Seriously... Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...)

That's not stainless, it's your average run-of-the-mill galvanized metal Model 5 housing. If it was stainless it wouldn't be rusted.

I haven't been on in a while, but I'm happy you were able to get that siren. Here is a pic of it when it was still mounted back in 2004 =)
Where in FL are you located?

Very nice 5AT! Please when you work on this siren take photos of the rotor & stator I would like to see the designs of them.

Nice photo! Where exactly was it located? I was told by the auction house that it was from Volusia County. I am in the Ft. Lauderdale area.
