Ok, so I think I may be painting this thing in the spring. I figured I could take the projectors off and paint them on the ground, but how much does this thing come apart? Id like to take it down for a better paint job, but that may be impossible. If I can get into manageable pieces, I would take it down that way. I did some reading on the manual, but it didnt show weights for the pieces. I may just have to go up there, but not much working room up there haha.

Here are some pictures of my fire company's STH-10. It is starting to get rusty, so I was thinking that a new paint job is due. Is there any other maintenance that should be done to this? I don't think anything has been done to it since it was knocked off of its former tower over 15 years ago. Thats why it has those new horn, but should really have another new horn since one is still messed up. Does anyone still service these? Im going to guess not, I wouldn't mind doing some service on them. A little more info, our town used to have atleast four other sirens, all set off by switches installed in members houses starting in 1948. They were placed all over our fire district, which is only 5 square miles at the most. We have all of the records about these, which I would post up if there was interest. I also found a siren in my other department that hopefully I can get and work on. Thanks for the time!
