I didnt know as well. When I was little, I thought I was the only one until I went on the internet and found fan forums . People collect pretty much anything nowadays from fans and sirens to light bulbs and outdated computers.

Well it's finally at my house. People ain't poopoo when they say they are a lot bigger up close. I got up to the horn/rotator and thought to myself "holy s*** this thing is big". Nothing went as planned to get it down so we kept changing ideas. Got it down then my buddy with the tow truck left and I had to take it apart to be able to get it in the truck.

There are some issues with it that I found I'll have to snag pics of them later but the horn had 2 holes in it that they welded plate over to fix. There is also a hole in that piece that is right above the rotator box (the thing they polished on American Restoration)

Now I don't know where to start lol. Not sure if i should pull the chopper out or test it first

Anyway here are pics they are on my Facebook. If anybody can't see them or refuses to look at fb I'll upload them to photobucket as well

Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

I never expected the standpipe to take the weight of the siren + blower like that!
