So a couple years ago my town decided to ditch it's 2001's in favor of a new ASC electronic system. The main reasons were the old system was getting costly to maintain, sirens showing their age and such. The other was they really wanted voice capability. And so it was.
Something I stumbled upon is even more interesting. Park Ridge Illinois is replacing their early 1990's 2001s with, my guess is, 2001's. The current sirens are not roundbacks, but do have the smaller cone in the middle of the horn. Almost identical to the ones we had here. Probably even the same age. Federal won the bid, it is possible that the new sirens could be 508's. But my money is that they are 130's. At around 22k a pop, they are not cheap.
The other bids received were from ASC and a company called Frontline Warning Systems. A little googling found that they are a Whelen dealer.
