Supposed ACA alertronic 5000 Horn

Thu Jan 23, 2025 4:24 pm

I found this photo from a old post about ACA testing sirens in 1993 and in the background there is a thunderbolt looking horn but it has a different end piece. Supposedly someone in the old post said it is a alertronic 5000 horn.

That is without a doubt an Allertonic 5000 horn! You can even see the fiberglass texture if you look close enough.

What makes me believe it is a horn from one is that there was only one that was put up as far as we know, but it was taken down a few years later. I'm guessing that this is the horn from that unit, since there was no other ACA product that used this specific design of horn.

If the horn is still there, does that mean the whole unit is/was in the graveyard?

Photo was from 93 and I don't know where the location was. Also in the other photos of the prototype t128 siren testing there is no alertronic in sight, so maybe there was one but they didn't show it.

Are there any more photos of this graveyard? there might have been some more pieces.

There are other photos on the board but not of the alertronic. The board name is 1993 siren testing photos.
