Heard from a friend that volunteers there that the five kicked the bucket and was replaced with a new 3V8 I might try to acquire the 5 before they scrap it. Here are some pictures

I remember a video of that 5 on YT. Is the new siren roof or pole-mounted?

Lol that's cool! This post brings back a bit of a memory of when I got my model 5 and when I first saw it on the ground. Thanks for sharing!

Sorry for the giant picture I cropped it in the previous post to prevent the size and orientation issue Same mount that the 5 used to be on

I thought so. Did the 5 sound sick before it died?

I haven't been up to hear it recently. For all I know it might have gotten struck by lightning. Given the way Its mounted it wouldn't surprise me

Nice. They made the right choice by going with Sentry. Best sirens made today.
