@rhett443 , The 28 is the bare bones siren. Paint or hammer tone finish. The 66 is the same siren with a rear chromed bullet, two piece (polished aluminum) pedestal mount. Chromed stator and chromed grill front. It was also available with different red light options for the front. And even the rear back in the 50's. The 66 also came with a simliar base to the cp25 siren base years ago. Low profile two hole mount. Hope this helps?
Way back when, I know they used a Sireno 6" dia. siren. Not really loud enough to do the job. They had one red light on the left corner of the roof, and 2 lights together facing rear, one amber and one red.
Dirty Harry's police car siren . One like it was used in his black police car . In fact , San Francisco Police used these and CAMs in their cars . They were later replaced in the mid '80s with Unitrol 480Ks .
we have one of these just like that at our football staduim...so we can use it when our football team and my marching band plays when they come out..usually i dont play i just act like i am and listen to the siren haha
Surprisingly they seem to be the most comon/popular sirens aroud still. You can find them on ebay very regularly and as I mentioned they are still used by some fire companies. An inexpensive way to get that mechanical tone on todays fire apparatus.
I find the cover gives the siren a bit more of a growl. As do most extended covers on mechanical sirens.
I'm not sure how many amps? Power was applied right off a spare car battery with jumper cables. I don't recall how many cranking amps the battery has... Don't forget your ear plugs if you try doing this at home.
please somone tell me where you can get one of these and how much. Thanks

The SFPD used mechanical sirens on its cars until the mid-80s? That has to be a typo.

It is ! They used them until about 1978 .

why didnt the light come on
cfd7311 3 years ago
It was'nt wired up. The end cap from a 66 was only on to deepen the sound of the 28.

Take the red light cover off and hold your ears. It will scream. I have one and it is much louder than the electronic ones used today.
