Ok. Man! The prices on the sirens I've been looking at just keep on jumping higher and higher.

[Jim Z]

well, what's your budget?

[AKSoapy29]

Well considering that I'm only 13, probably not that much. Maybe a hundred or so? I'm not entirely sure. I might be able to pick up a few vibratones from my school, if they would take them out, but what fun are those?

[Jim Z]

I got a model L and a model D for $200 plus shipping, so an A, D, or L should be within your reach.

depends where you keep them...

[AKSoapy29]

What do you mean "depends where I keep them"?

[Jim Z]

off-color joke. don't worry about it.

[AKSoapy29]

Ok. Right now, 200 dollars seems high for me. Maybe I can try saving up and buy something later. What condition are the two sirens in? Got any videos, blogs, website?

check what I said. I got *two* sirens for $200. I'd think you can easily get one for $100 or less. you just have to be patient. A car/truck siren can be easy to get into as long as it's 12volt, that way you can run it off of a car battery. Something like a Federal 66 or C5 or something. Pay attention because you don't want to end up with a 6 volt or 24 volt version. Also, don't bother with Federal Q sirens, even when they're trashed they fetch $300-400.

IMO a D or L would still be your best bet, as long as you don't pay too much for one. This guy:

is an idiot. there's no way that ratty old thing is worth $324.
