The Siren Board

I found a link to a company called Hankoku electric while looking for information about Japanese sirens. They seem to have quite a large selection, including several sirens I previously thought were made by Toshiba. The website is mainly in Japanese, but is easy to navigate, and includes sound clips of many of their sirens.http://www.hankoku.co.jp/index.htm

Absolutely phenomenal find! The VQR-7700-DT looks like a 2T22!

I couldn't find it; could you link a picture please? Thanks.
On another note, the HHS200.400 looks like a Federal Model 5

How were you trying to contact them? They have some telephone numbers, fax numbers, and an email address on their English site. http://www.hankoku.co.jp/english/index.html

I vaguely remember this company, it may have been discussed on here before.

Interesting to see that they have the dates on which several models ended production...

...and "Electronic horn peek-a-boo" totally sounds like something by Frank Zappa.

Thanks. You're right, it does resemble a 2T22, only with 8/10 ports (I think)

8/8 Single Tone. The Japanese sometimes baffle me with their siren designs- sometimes they're efficient, other times you wonder "how the hell does that work?" I guess this one works.

Y'know, if you painted one of those HHS200.400s yellow, you could ALMOST pass it off as a Genuine 5/7

All jokes aside, very interesting information!
