Or if its something small and low-mounted (or roof mounted) you might be able to do it yourself. Thats why I want to get the Model 2 I mentioned, it's mounted pretty low. How heavy is the siren itself minus the housing?

How much weight is a siren *thunderbolt* horn and rotator box, and how much is the blower? And are there any siren graveyards in Minnesota?

The Model 2 is around 65 lbs I believe.

The horn itself weighs 90 lbs. The whole head, fully assembled, is about 400 or so. The blower between 550 and 600 lbs.

And don't worry lol...I won't butt in! I have too many as it is! :lol:

That certainly sounds manageable. I need to get out and get pics of the thing, was going to yesterday along with another siren I got a tip for on my last siren hunt but I completely forgot...

Are they removing the Erick as well? Would be neat if you could get that as well.
