Federal Signal Model 2T (1983) Full Restroation

[Charlie Davidson]

This past weekend I decided to restore my 1983 FS Model 2T-120 air raid siren. I painted it the original colors, the siren gray and the legs black. I removed the paint off of the chopper since the chopper isn't supposed to be painted. I also replaced the brushes and cleaned the commutator.

I believe my two days worth of work on it turned out to be well worth it! It sure looks beautiful.

I'm already beginning work on my 1977 Model 2T, however it needs a bit more work than this one did.

Let me know what you guys think.

It sounds wonderful Charlie! I am surprised the camera didn't distort a lot.

It's nice
How much do you want for it?

So the difference between the Model 2 and the 2T is that the 2T is dual tone?

Yes.

This is what a Model 2 sounds like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ylEqqYI4oA (credit Charlie Davidson)

I'm not quite sure yet. I believe I am going to sell the 1977 2T instead, after we get it restored. Both sirens run off of 120 volts.

When I come up with a price, I'll put it up on eBay and post a link in the For Sale forum. I may put the starting bid around $300, shroud not included as of now, unless I can hunt down one by then.
