  • If you do spin it by hand, or any other means, be careful not to get your fingers in the vents. Even at slow rpm the momentum stored in that cast iron rotor with take em clean off!

  • @comboplatter

    You are right there! I'm sure Phil has snagged his fingers once or twice- the amount he's restored! The aluminium rotors are just as dangerous!

  • Where can you buy one like from? There literally none like this one on ebay.

  • Oh I get it, it is one of those sirens only people around a certain age group can hear.

  • i used to live in Cambridge Pennsylvania they had one of these and they are loud as HELL!

  • There is an atom bomb and the siren doesnt start...

    :D

  • I must have one !

  • the port ratio is 10/12 if that helps :)

  • i would love one lol be like happy new years every body when it gets there -.-

  • I have a few of these, are they worth anything?

  • It depends. What kind of condition are they in? I may be interested in one.

  • You do? Ill take one.

  • I had one of them but gave it too a museum lacking one. We took it to my school and set it off for the final time a few days ago, it was a suprise and only one person took it seriously. I was in class and my friend started bugging me saying we should go outside it might be real, and when we asked everyones reaction they all knew it wasn't a real air raid. still though it was pretty mashed up so it won't be going off again any time soon, unless the museum fix it then maybe never...

  • I hear a bomber....Haha no.

  • why don't you set it off

  • set it off in ur neighbors window lol!!!!

  • @thehate448 be careful, they may man a flak gun....

  • @ualien42 True.......wow thank you for replying, i didnt know my comment was 2 years old.

  • @thehate448 i didnt look at the date

  • @ualien42 I know, I'm thanking you because I forgot I posted it.

  • is there any for sale left for me?

  • You have to look about in the most unlikely places and you never know

  • FIND AND SAVE THEM ALL!

    Don't let any get scrapped.

    Please spin this with a drill so we can hear her at least growl.

    How many ports in each end?

    Thank you,

  • I am trying my best to restore all i find

    but these are rare rare rare.

    As this year is the 70th aniversary of the outbreak of WW2 i am desperately going to

    borrow a power source and make it sound again.

  • Congratulations on your new baby!

    Next time, please spin rotor by hand.

    Are the stator end plates really needed?

    I like it better without.

  • The factory end covers are a standard thing

    until the heaters were fitted after 1940.

    The end plates were there to help air to be forced through the centre so it could escape

    out the sides.

    i am going to give this a full power run in the not to distant future.

  • i love them with.

    it makes the sound louder and better

  • How do end covers make it any louder?

  • You are having transformers built to run the thing? That costs a pretty penny to do!

  • Not if you use 3x 4.5kva site transformers and you know a man than can link them all together to run as one,with an initial start switch then a switch over to run once started.

  • can't wait to hear this bad boy!

  • Showroom condition!

  • Very nice:)
