I could have sworn I saw a Modulator at Disney's Magic Kingdom while I was on vacation there a bunch of years ago...

I used to be in AFJROTC at my school, and in 2014 we went to Kennedy Space Center. I saw a small handful of sharp looking stainless Sentries, what model I do not recall off hand. I also remember seeing a newer Model 2 by a launch pad near the Vehicle Assy. Bldg. There were no signs of the old banshees or tbolts unless I missed something. We also went to a mess hall at nearby Patrick AFB for lunch, and I did see an STH-10 on top of what looked to be some barracks.

Looking at Patrick AFB, I found a Whelen and a system of smaller ATIs in the standard 4 speaker formation around the base here. https://www.google.com/maps/@28.2538959 ... 6656?hl=en

I clumsily lost the ATI in view and see no sign of fore-mentioned STH-10. I was also unable to find any of the stainless steel Sentries. (I will edit in the ATI and maybe the STH-10 if I find.)

EDIT: Forgot to mention, this is towards the Disney related post, it has been known for a while that Disney has a system of mods, however the common word is that they are hidden very well and take a good eye to find behind scenery and such.

Where would you guess that the mods are?

@Railfan99 I have no idea, presumably the larger more densely packed areas and dotted around the parks based on the range of the modulators.

Here's one of the sentries. Looks to be a 10V:

@EOWS1212man I'll ask again: Where did you see the Modulator at Disney?

Found this info thanks to newspapers.com:

Tampa had 10 T-Bolts. Article also mentions a carillon system mounted on a building in downtown Tampa for CD alerts
St. Petersburg had 7 T-Bolts-the system appears to have been shut down in 1985/86
The Pinellas County Jail siren was installed on the "New Jail" in the early 80's-I suspect it was moved from another location

Google Siren Hunt Post 2.0.........yippie. But anywyas here is the "deleted" post redone, Tried to get as many of the original pics as possible! Palatka Siren 1: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.648512, ... !1e1?hl=en Not sure what is, almost looks like a ROTATING Model A, but its massive, https://www.google.com/maps/@29.6489916 ... !1e1?hl=en This angle shows. Also in Palatka, A tarped, not wired, Mystery Siren, very strange: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.6521942 ... 6656?hl=en . Brooker Model 2: https://www.google.com/maps/search/Fire ... 6656?hl=en . Rainbow Lakes FD Mystery Siren: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.1497359 ... 1664?hl=en . Sneaky Fedelcode Model 5 in Trenton: Angle 1: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.6140481 ... 6656?hl=en Angle 2: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.6133708 ... 6656?hl=en Angle 3: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.6134292 ... 6656?hl=en . Waldo Model X with Missing Top Housing: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7906166 ... 6656?hl=en . Thats enough for now, I will save the others that were supposed to go into original post for a rainy day :P HOWEVER, I am deciding to share something, I looked on the massive civil defense siren fund list someone made another topic about, Ocala had purchased one siren, and going by my dad's hazy memory and the list, it is an XT22 most likely, It was at a fire station that is now demolished(supposedly that is where) for a massive area re-working with roads and layout in general. Sadly there is NO sign of the XT22 and its status is unknown, but very grim. But It was clearly heard from his childhood home (My Gran's house), and My house is not all that far away either, meaning If on a perfect day, where I sit now typing this, I could've possibly heard it faintly at least! But Like I said, the siren's whereabouts are unknown entirely. But that model X very near to my house I never knew about(is a 30 minute trek) has high promise, will hopefully find info on if it is still active. :D
