I've been to that museum but I've never had a chance to actually check this siren out. Is it still running tests? I heard a siren this morning 0.0 .....
Again, I just do not get it. The Sentry 40V2T seems so much louder, though it is rated a couple db's less. Have you compared it to this baby? By the way, restoring must have been the most fun you have ever had!! Cool job!
excellent!! thank heavens there are people out there restoring these wonderful sirens..what a shame so many are lost to rust and neglect.. do you know what happened to the siren located at the fire station on rosemead up by huntington?
@minkyblack hell yeah. I hate that alot of places in USA remove perfectly working units and replace them with something that is either electronic or has a high failure rate, mainly for the sake of "aesthetics". Who the fuck cares how pretty one looks. Last time anyone heard one in an emergency situation, no one was thinking "man that siren is not pretty looking" People are stupid (and wasteful).
@Schutzraumtechnik999 I agree...these sirens give a wonderful, haunting sound when heard from a distance..I grew up in the san gabriel valley, and got to hear it once a month when they tested them....am so happy to see some of them being restored and fired up..
What are you talking about? Many of these were operated by telephone in the 50:s. Don't compare a neglected 50 year old machine to a new one. This is an awesome and historically important piece of machinery.
I really love these, I have wanted one to restore to like new for a couple of years now. I just hate to think of this peice of history going to a junkyard or being melted down for scrap. Kick ass, 5/5 stars!
Great Video! But can't tell from the video if you have ear plugs. Add some hearing protection guy! The noise is wonderful, but it will kill your ears! Seriously, I wear two hearing aides just from that! End of lecture! Your restore job is great!
i want two of those....in my pickup, then i WILL be heard
