@bulldozer950 The dual tone 2v8 is rare siren. It was not made very long because the CD did not think it was loud enough. The 2v8 that came off of this pole was a single tone.
@Tabby266 The sterling 2v8 was on the same pole. I assume that they got the pole with the idea that the higher up the siren was the farther away it can be heard.
Awesome job on the install, glad to see my old siren works like a charm in service! So I take it y'all replaced the bearings and brushes in it? I know that the top bearing that was in it when I had it was shot.
we replaced the brushes in it but they did not want to mess with the bearings. the bearings were smooth and sounded fine when we turned it without the brushes in
it sounds real creepy too:/

Does it get used to warn of tornadoes, or is it just used to alert the employees of calls?

No i mean where is it now. Did someone restore it and is it operational and in service somewhere else?
Jared1452 2 years ago
no the rotor in it fractured and can not be repaired since it is made out of magnesium
