Good starter siren?

Hello. I've been looking for my first siren, and I found this one on eBay:

Do you think it is a good starter siren for someone young like me?

I guess it would be fine but I would rather have the small industrial sirens Federal made. I suggest starting out with one of these.


Also, they pop up on ebay frequently so finding one wont be hard.

Ok. Are they cheap?

Or, in general, what would be a good first siren, any model, any brand?

Like Robin suggested,Model A,L,Ds etc. are good for starters.

This isn't a Model a or anything, but it sort of has the same shape:

I'm not made of money, so I'm looking for something cheaper I can get my hands on. I'm only thirteen, so yeah. :/

Ok,how about this: Vehicle sirens in general are good starters.

I found a Federal type E on Craigslist for $150 in St. Cloud.

That is a pretty generic car alarm siren. I would get something with more of a brand name.

Here are two good starter sirens on ebay right now.
