Here's what it looks like now. Looks more like a siren than a pile of metal, eh?

Yes, the kitchen bowl bootleg rain cover.

Can't. The rotor is cracked, and the motor is most likely toast.

TNT1001, who got the parts from Crazywarriorman. Most of the parts were from Springfield, but the others were from Manchester.

IIRC, the Springfield parts were:
Blower Cover
Blower frame
Chopper Tube
Chopper
Blower Weights
Rotator box frame
Rotator top gear
Standpipe

The Manchester parts were, I think:
Blower Motor
Compressor
Rotator Motor
Rotator gearbox
Mounting flange
Rotator sheet metal
Extra horn (in my garage)

The only exception is the White horn, which is from SC.

That sounds pretty bad. Is it a 5/6 port or 4/5 port?
