I got more photos of our siren today, and a nice, close one of the controls box.

Thanks, dj.

Your sharp photo even reveals the rotor vanes through the screened intake opening!



Is the pole three poles?
Hope it is strong enough.

Please inform when they will test close to the test date so we don't forget.
Thank you.

Thanks. The stand is three 4-6" steel tubes - more than adequate. Test date: 5/1/09 - Time: 7:00 PM; Weather may postpone to the following Friday, same time, 7:00 PM

I have seen a video of this siren. I sure love the sound of it, very similar to the P-50 / T-135.

Stunningly crystal pictures. That siren is a survivor. One that i hope will never die. I think it's interesting that they used 3 tubes instead of a class 1, 2, or 3 pole.

Thanks for sharing those.

Why three?
That is actually more difficult than one utility pole.
A 2t22 is made to mount perfectly securely on one class 2 utility pole.

There's a tbolt in this area mounted on a weird tower...
