Where there any Whelen Sirens in different colours other than Black and White?

[Blixt1000]

I remember one of the sirens of San Onofre was a Whelen 2806 that was White. And that got me thinking. Are there any other Whelens that are different colours out there? I do know that there were some rotational Whelens that were painted the CD Yellow and of course the aforementioned White Whelen in the SONGS System. I also knew that the competitor Modulator had different colours out there like the ones in Hawai that were Green and the infamous rainbow one in Monroe County, MI. So tell me. Where there any Whelens that wern't the normal Black, Gray or White out there and if so, I would like google maps location or picture if available.

I think the S.O.N.G.S White Whelen was actually painted black at one time. The paint probably just came off somehow.

The white Whelen was actually re-painted white for whatever reason. Before it got removed the black started showing a tiny bit in certain spots

There are some red 4000s in Tempe, AZ.

There is a double Whelen 3016 setup at Cannon Beach. The 3016's are Forest Green.

those whelens have deteriorated to a more muddy green. but they're still up and presumably still work.

St Louis County MO used to have a system with many 3016s and 400Rs that were civil defense yellow to match the older Thunderbolts and 2t22s in their system. All are now replaced by 29xxs.

Those were 2000Rs. 400Rs were equivalent to Vortexes.

That said, STL County's old system also had a few CD yellow 4004s which I'm not sure were seen anywhere else.

A video of these would be awesome. I'd like to see how they oscillate.

The rotators are disabled on the 3016s. They're used directionally along the coast.

Cannon Beach has a fascinating system because its primarily made up of Frankenwhelens that have been salvaged from used parts (such as the 3016-DSA). They also have the WS-400Hx4 siren head that's floated around here from time to time.
