Mine would be

The model 120, the ACA cyclone 120, the KM Europe, The HLS X73 series, The Russian C – 28 siren, The 8/12 port unknown siren (Horizontal similar to British sirens) The STL 10, the VEB 1011, The longlegs model 2 The British general electric 12/14 Port Siren (These come from multiple different manufacturers, in both vertical and horizontal forms) The unknown Polish sirens, the 14 port siren at Fowler California

That’s mainly my list, by the way on a related note, what’s your favourite siren controller?

Mine would be the AR timer by federal signal and Mechanical timer operated signals used in Germany

My favorite siren is the Sterling Siren Model M. I've taken a liking to them ever since I gained interest in sirens.

I have poured countless hours researching the history and mechanics of the Model M, as well as the history of Sterling Siren Fire Alarm as a company.

I also own a Model M of my own, built in 1948.

The Little Giant is one curious little machine. Also that 12 port siren in Sacramento, CA (the name eludes me at the moment).

Easily the Thunderbolt and Hurricane. I don't know why, but I just absolutely love supercharged sirens. Otherwise? Probably the PN-20/RM-130. I always thought it was cool how they designed a penetrator series siren capable of battery backup, and how they were starting to design single projectors for each chopper port, like the later T-128 and T-135 AC/DC.
