Not sure what model this is. Possibly a model 3? Fedelcode.

It definatly is a fedelcode, but I can't put my finger on what model it is, although it does look like a model 3.

Hello, fellow siren enthusiasts. I am losing interest, but will be back on the board from time to time.

That’s what a friend and I were thinking. But some pictures have been confusing, so not entirely sure.

That's a Fedelcode Type 3, at least that's what I call them. IIRC the 3HP Fedelcodes were shorter than the 5 and 7HP sirens.

It's likely a three phase Type 5 C2 1/2, which have been known to be this stubby. The eyebolt's a dead giveaway as the C1 1/2 (Model 3) doesn't have those.
