Ardmore, Oklahoma: ASC RM-130 reportedly replaced

[07VFDInLCD]

A year or two ago, I released a video on my siren YouTube channel (Siren Archives) about Ardmore's siren system testing schedule and the fact that the last remaining RM-130 over there was still active and working.

Just yesterday, I received a comment on that video claiming that the RM-130 has been replaced.

Since I haven't been in Ardmore for the better part of 3 years, I can't confirm whether or not this is true. I can only say that the RM-130 is or was located on top of the Ardmore Police Department building.

It looks like a 2001-130 has taken its place.

Yep, I was notified on Reddit a day or two ago.

This is the first Federal Signal siren that's been in Ardmore since the RM-130 upgrade in 1998. That's 26 straight years of ASC sirens!

I’m quite shocked that they didn’t go with another T-128. I guess they decided to take a page out of Lone Grove’s book and give ol’ Federal Signal a try. lol!

Quick update: It's not a 2001-130....it's an EQUINOX!!! Also, Ardmore has apparently switched all their siren controllers and activation system from ASC to Federal Signal.

It’s nice that they chose a siren with a mostly similar sound to the rm-130

I thought so too, until I found out it was an Equinox and not a 2001-130. So it'll sound pretty much just like a T-128.
