[Archon]

Have 3 new Sirens added to my collection 2- 3T22's and1-2T22 and 1- very hard to find ROOF MOUNT YES a roof mount harder to find then hen's teeth

Here I am leaving WSS for a 255miles trip back home


My Trunk full of Horns 88 of them and a extra 2t22 top


The 3 sirens top and bottom pieces were removed so I could get them inside

a 1950's 3T22 with a 3 phase GE motor Status Not working Unknown problem with motor


1950's 2T22 with a 3 phase GE Motor Status Not working Unknown problem with Motor


1977 3T22 With a 3 phase Marathon Motor Status Not working probable lighting strike. I have a motor that I can replace this motor with from a Thunderbeam.



All sirens with be taken all apart and than stored that way in my Storage area It is much easier to move them apart that together


OH and I moved and did everything by my self Who says one needs to go to the gym just move sirens around. And my body is telling me now that it did not like it

There are a lot of 3 phase motors, how do or can you power them? generator, 3 phase converter or have the motors rewound to single phase.

How much did the trailer rental cost for the day? I may need to rent one soon... Its pretty cool that you got 3 xt22s. They're my favorite siren series. Did you take all the ones that West Shore Had?

Joe, How do you know for sure that your 2 2t22's are from the 1950's since there is no date of manufacture to be found on the id tag? I couldn't find one on either of mine .I kinda of thought that the 2t22 wasn't developed until the early to mid sixties.....

Federal Used GE Motors in the 50's and switched to Wagner in the 60's

How are you going to replace a 3t22 motor with a thunderbeam motor? Thunderbeams and STH-10s use 7 1/2 horsepower single shaft motors. 3t22s use 10 horsepower dual shaft motors.

The last two digits in the serial number indicate the year of manufacture.

Federal didn't use dates in the serial numbers until later on. And most Federal sirens of this type have interchangeable rotors/stators/motors. Correct me if I am wrong anyone.

I don't have sirens that are extremely old, so I can't say much about the serial numbers.

They are not interchangeable across models.
