Since it's in the museum, it shouldn't be active. If you're wondering if it could work however, it should if it was refurbished and kept inside. It still is possible it was only painted and doesn't actually work.

Is the siren actually in the museum as an exhibit, or is it mounted outside somewhere? There's a historic WW2 museum hangar that has a working coded Fedelcode Model 5 that's mounted atop a building and controlled by the museum. Wendover Army Airfield is the place.

It's inside the museum. There's a picture of it inside on the XT22 siren map. They might bring it outside on some occasions, but I'm guessing they don't.

I have gone inside and seen it. It’s in great condition, from what I saw. Snapped a quick photo of it.

Thanks for the picture! That siren looks sharp! Maybe it does actually work? There's a beefy plug wired to it after all! They probably have 3-phase power on site to fire it up.

I hope there's a hole in the bottom of the platform it's mounted on. If not, they've blocked the low-tone intake unfortunately.
