Where did this siren go?

[CD_Siren]

Hello. While I was watching some videos on Youtube, I stumbled across a video of a Sentry Defender before shipment. I did not think of this for a while, but I started to wonder where it went and if it was still in existence. Maybe Ed Wise knows the location because he took the original video. The video was likely taken sometime during 2007, so that could mean it was on Google Maps street view for a while. Anyways, any help would be appreciated.

Argos Indiana had Sentry defenders until a tornado took them out. They had a short production span due to reliability issues and sentry preferring Omni Directionals. Undocumented Defenders may exist, but outside of Argos the only other place that would (likely) have a defender is Sentry themselves. Since its on a forklift It may be a demo unit.

Possibly could be a prototype unit because I heard the siren having a chopper and rotator hiccup towards the end.

This one in particular appears to be a demo (or pre-shipped unit being tested before install) since it is mounted on a forklift. The location of the video appears to be at the former Sentry Siren headquarters/factory located at 2812 N 9th St, Canon City, CO 81212. They've actually moved to a new facility in Penrose, CO since then. There were very few of these sirens produced and only a handful (maybe/maybe not) of locations of active ones may be known. The only one I was personally aware of is the one that (was/is) in Argos, Indiana.

Seems to be before shipment to somewhere.

I believe this went to South Bend, Oregon

Is it still in service?

I doubt it. This was over 10 years ago, and I'm not sure a siren with many reliability issues would last that long.

Kinda off topic but do we have every location removed, inactive, and active Sentry Defenders?

I have a few.
Durant, OK
North Bend, OR
Tuttle, OK (Removed)
Slater, IA (Removed)
Argos, IN (Had others taken out by a tornado)
That is pretty much all I know about.
