Today, I received a Federal Sign and Signal Model 5 siren. Big thanks to my uncle for buying me this siren! It most likely came from NE Wisconsin and I have yet to determine what city it used to stand in. Eventually, I'm going to try to get this siren running, either by means of a belt drive system using a single phase motor, belt driving with an engine, buying a 3 phase converter, or seeing if my generator has the ability to output 3 phase power (my uncle told me it might be phase convertible).

Lord, those things are massive. Great job on acquiring that mate! Never seen one without the chasing before, haha.

Do you have the housing? We might be able to compare that to prior pictures in that area.

I don't, unfortunately.
