    Incredible! I thought for months that they were both scrapped, but I’m glad that one (or parts of both, really) made it to restoration! This video is a major part of siren enthusiast history.

    Looking at the serial It's from 1981. My thing is if the blower was missing only the chopper can sound. Strange how they gave you the blower cover and not the blower itself. I saw this same siren coming back from Memphis back in early 2020. Good to know you have it now

    Probably. People are making a huge deal out of it. None of this stuff is extra sensitive to lightning, I’m sure it has been struck dozens if not hundreds of times. (It’s on a 50 foot metal pole sticking up in the middle of an empty field, what do you expect) This older stuff is basically immune to it.
