Not quite sure what this is. It is atop a building near the Fish Hawk in Atlanta, GA. It seems like it could be something like a WS1000 though.

Looks like a Whelen WS-2000 with two rows of arrays. Or a DSA of some sort.
Down to a Thunderbolt chopper, still a few goofy flashlight-siren combos, and a Model L.

Looks like an Altec Lansing speaker array to me.

It's PROBABLY a federal signal DSA of sorts. North Fulton Co. has a bunch of federal 2001s and MODs, so it might have something to do with that system.

If you look VERY closely, you can see the brackets branching out from the pole to the speakers. Still, I may be wrong.

This is probably something obvious and I'm just having cranial flatulence again, but still...

I ran across this cute little guy back in May, while perusing the village of Cumberland Gap, TN. At first glance it makes me think Sterling, but I can't find anything to back my gut instincts up. What do you folks think?

That is a dual-headed Darley Champion.

This seems to be Darley's answer to the Sterling Little Giant. They had a larger dual-head 8/8 port siren with Model 5 heads.
