Soundmaster 115 | Noon Whistle | Cassville, WI

Another successful re-recording with the PowerShot. I have a slight hunch this could be an ACA SuperBanshee 20, however it looks to be heavily modified whatever it is, so unless someone can see the heavily faded ID tag up close, we will never know.

Finally, a good recording of it. Are we sure this is a Soundmaster though? Looks more like an ACA siren with the top design similar to a Screamer.

The top intake is of a Soundmaster. The top cover is also metal. It's had work done to it though.

I have a feeling this could potentially be a SuperBanshee (2 Signal), but I am not sure. It for sure has had work done to it though indeed.

One thing to keep in mind is that Soundmasters have their rotor/stator arrangements the other way round. ACA made them like this with 8 on the bottom and 12 on the top. The motor is also different and resembels the one on the Superbanshee. Theer aren't enough skirts and the bottom intake is more 2 signal ACA than anything else.

I have seen Soundmasters made with the 8 port rotor on the bottom too. The ones in Columbia Heights MN (my hometown) had this configuration.
