Long island mystery micro siren

Thu Jul 18, 2024 4:14 pm

So I was adding sirens to my map and I happened across this micro siren on Long Island, I've looked at other maps and one of them has it as a Sparton model 35 but other people are saying that it is a Sterling-type F first generation. The horn and intake look like it but the motor does not match. It would be great to find out what this thing is.

Wow, that's cool! Never seen an installation like that. My guess is a Benjamin Electric KM-8200.

I can confirm that this siren is a Sparton Model 35. It has been mentioned in many video descriptions but some keep getting deleted, I hope this helps.

As one who owns a Sparton 35, I’m skeptical that’s accurate. The motor cover seems to be quite a bit longer and has a circular plate at the back, while the Sparton’s was a solid cast piece. Also the conduit box coming out the side doesn’t match the hole at the base of the motor casting on a Sparton. Finally, the intake cone looks to be a bit longer and a smaller diameter that Sparton’s. I wish someone in the area could get some closer pictures as I’d really want to know what this could be.
