The P-50 That was at State Fair Park in West Allis/Milwaukee WI has been replaced I passed by Wednesday And there stands a New ASC T-135 in it's place. The P-50 has had problems in the past.
Wonders If the Hurricane has also been replaced?

What a down grade....probably would of been better off restoring and re-installing the siren. The new T-135 is no where near as good as the P-50...yikes

That's too bad! As Bryan said, those P-50s are better off refurbished than replaced. I think the Hurricane may be replaced, as the Blower failed when Bill recorded it. It could be fixed though, maybe not.

Well, the new T-135 is the best replacement for a P-50, even though it's not as loud, but the loudest siren made today. Also, this is what you would have to do if you want a battery backup siren.

The blower in that siren seemed to drop in RPM as the siren ran.
