Siren 20 is in the same location. Take a look again, they are the before and after pictures of the refurbishment. The siren head was repainted and all of the control boxes were replaced but the pole and location remains the same.Chicagosiren-hunters wrote:Very nice photos! Would you happen to know where siren number 20 is going to be after restoration?I may want to record the Modulator in the future too.
isnt there a b&n mobil directo?remadog wrote:Every few years I do a siren audit to take pictures and see which sirens need updating. Since my last audit was 2012 and we changed quite a few sirens around I thought I would share with all of you what our current system consists of. Almost all are yellow except for one inherited unit, the Village Hall Modulator and the new 508 which is inside a private community that paid for it before giving it to us to maintain. All of the physical work on these sirens is done by Braniff Communications Inc. one of the finest outfits around. The last pictures show the College View siren that was discussed in another thread about a week or so ago. Braniff refurbished it for me this week so it matches the rest of the system. I may have to do this in multiple posts for all 20 sirens....Mike
