The Siren Board

Recoded during the Simulated tornado warning I was trying to get both sirens. The OM-120 was in Town of Brookfield and across the street there is a T-128 in The city of Waukesha. The T-128 did not go off due to a problem you can hear the others in Waukesha Going off in the back ground before the OM-120 goes off.

Not a good day to video tape very cloudy and Very windy Had to keep holding the tripod to keep it from blowing over. I must say the OM-120 did sound good.

Why I did not go to Prairie Du Sac to get the Decot?
Unknown if the test would have been done due to rain in the forecast
GAS IS 3.80 a gallon IT would cost 40.00 for the trip

Great video! Once the OM-120 starts, the wind is almost completely drowned out. I love those T-128's at the beginning.

We used to have a VFD siren in Louisville on Terry Road that sounded almost just like this OM-120. I can't remember if it rotated or not. This is not the same siren in my "Mystery Single Tone Rotating Siren" thread. The mystery siren was located at PRP VFD #1 on Kerrick Lane, really close to where the low pitch tan Thunderbolt is.

Did ACA or ASC make a rotating version of the OM-120, and if so, when was it made?

Yes, the rotating version of the OM-120 was none other than the RM-127, which use both the same rotor & motor.

Great recording, but I have never heard of the OM-120. Is there a closeup photo of it somewhere?

It's basically your standard Banshee. Some of the later ones had battery back up. They might still be made today.....

Hey, look. 100 posts.

Yup.

They're nice sirens.

All of the RM-127's I've heard are 8 port sirens, and they sound at a lower pitch than this one. In fact, their pitch is the same as a lot of Whelens. This siren appears to have either a nine or ten port rotor. Could the rotating version of this siren have been the RM-130? The RM-130 has a nine port rotor, and it sounds at about the same pitch as this OM-120.

Yeah, the RM-127 was the AC version of this siren. The DC version spins faster and is louder. Thus RM-130. We've got one in eden prairie.

The RM-130 is 9 ports
