Lisco, NE mystery siren

Sat Mar 02, 2024 1:52 pm

I found a really weird looking siren, that shows up as "mystery thing" on the Nebraska siren map. It does seem to have a chopper, so I'm wondering what this siren is:

I don't know if it's a Model A or another smaller siren, the chopper seems way too big for anything like this.
EDIT: I don't think it's a Sentry F siren as well. There's too many chopper ports for it to be one.

Hoping to get some sirens in the future...

To me, it almost looks like a Model Q without its chrome bits and motor cover. I could be wrong.
I don’t have any real sirens, but I will one day. But for now, I just enjoy making homemade sirens.

That's what it is. A Q2B without a chrome cover and without a motor.

Of all things, why a Model Q2B? I'm guessing now that they didn't have the budget for a Model A or another small siren, so they probably took the Model Q from a fire truck.

Btw, this siren was replaced by a Sentry 7v8-H-B. How did they get the money for one of those??????? :?
I'm a siren enthusiast but I also collect electric fans

Now I have 8 small sirens, and 47 electric fans :D

Probably just needed a small siren for the department only. Here in Louisiana, there was one similar to this setup.

Broadwater and Sunol Nebraska have 7v8-H-Bs as well, it could've been a regional EM thing. If that's the case, im surprised they arent Whelens!

That seems likely that they just spread out their system. It's like Grand Island, Where they have sirens in their system that are in different towns. Also, when did Broadwater, NE get their sentry(s)? 2022 SV doesn't show it/them.
