For those who are good at determining the model of sirens from not-so-great-quality pictures, can anyone tell what this is? http://binged.it/THzV4s

Judging by the shape and size of it from looking at both Bing and Google satellites, it looks to be a white Sentry 3V8-H or 7V8.

I was also thinking 3V8-H, though it looks yellow to me. I'll have to find a chance to get up there and investigate it.

Sentry sells all of their sirens in yellow as an option. I found out that there is a small difference between the 3V8-H and 7V8. The best way to find out might be to go see it.

The 3V8 has a much smaller chopper than the 7V8 does. The 3V8 is based off of a Sterling M5, and the 7V8 is based off of a M10.

If only that weren't an hour away.

I'll try to get up there soon and see what I can find.

The new T-128 on Kemper Commons Circle in Springdale appears to be operational finally! It had been pointed west for months since it was installed, and I saw from the Lowe's parking lot across the street today and it is now pointed east.

Was out today and saw some still standing sirens and replacements:

New American Signal T-128 at the intersection of Martin Drive and Loudin Street in Mount Adams, Ohio. I guess this is going to cover most if not all of Eden Park. Not sure if there was a siren in Eden Park before this one.

Old Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000(T?) on the Purcell Marian High School at 2935 Hackleberry Street in Walnut Hills, OH. Did some Google Earthing and found the replacement, which is about a half a mile away at Park Avenue and Lincoln Avenue. Anyway, heres the T-Bolt:

And last but not least, an old Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000(AT?) with its new replacement, an American Signal T-128, standing next to it. This is located at Fairfax Avenue and Cinnamon Street, just north of Walnut Hills, and east of Norwood.
