Yes the fire station said that it was ex Trojan and I don’t know what the outside tag looked like because it doesn’t exist anymore and it had been inactive for a while because it was locked up and the controls were removed for some reason idk why sorry if this sounds fake because it isn’t
Understandable, if you got it in that condition straight from an FD there wouldn’t really be any way to verify it on your own. What specific depeartment in Curry County did you get it from? I’d like to see if I could squeeze some more info from them about it. As for restoring your siren, all the steel bits are rusty but the rotor looks alright. Your best bet is probably having someone with mechanical knowledge help you pull off the rotor with penetrating oil and heat, and getting into the motor to replace the bearings and free it up. My crusty STH-10 was a similar grim-looking project at first but I got it running eventually.

That's impressive you were able to get the plate cleaned up so much! Also, that's a clever way of making a Lego version of the siren :D

Thank you and it looks so much better now that I have restored it and also funnily enough the Lego one doesn’t have a shroud just like mine. :lol:
