Mod collecting?

[Mac]

This is maybe an odd question- but there had been a MOD (3012 i think?) on ebay for a long time with all the boxes and stuff for it.

Was just wondering if anyone ever has interest in these to collect or if its not so interesting to have?

[anepstad]

I think people don't have interest yet to collect them yet because the MOD is a pretty new siren and they are not rare like the older sirens

Can you post a link? I wonder if it was the same one that was posted several months ago on here that Charlie observed a crack in one of the cells.

Depends on what kind of controller cabinet it comes with. The MC and MCP controllers on now obsolete. The UV is the current generation siren controller used to activate the mods and DSAs

There is certainly interest, though it always comes down to whether it can be afforded or not. I don't believe that rarity or "being old" has anything to do with it.

That was from the listing.
Yes it had a crack in the head. Does that ruin it?
Was $750

Was $750

Not everyone can justify that cost if it's going to be used a handful of times, especially when the shipping cost would be frightfully expensive. Consider the cost of a 200kg siren head plus everything else that was listed in the auction if someone in Florida had it shipped from Oregon.

The auction has ended, but here it is:
