Re: FS Model A rotor help!
Do you have photos of the rotor? Because either something is jamming it up or it sirencon P-50ed it’s self and I would not recommend turning it on with the rotor jammed.
Owns a ex Trojan! federal signal model 7 And a 3-d printed ACA hurricane mkII and mini model 7T miscellaneous 3-d printed/lego sirens. Hopes for there to be a ACA hurricane 130 at sirencon one day.

Re: FS Model A rotor help!
What kind of Model A do you have; can you post pictures of the motor? Depending on the motor style you can easily open it up to inspect the innards. If it’s anything later than ~1950s they started to use 2 shells pressed together which makes taking them apart a bit more involved.

So you now have a Model A with three chopper levels?AppleFireAlarmPro wrote: ↑Thu Mar 27, 2025 8:32 pmbut I actually just now took a motor from an old fan I had laying around and attached that to it and it is now working again, with 3 speeds!
I've thought about using fan motors to run 3D-printed sirens. It's neat to see that the one you found actually fits your Model A's rotor.
