Progress Update. Got the siren torn down yesterday. Rotor assembly will be sent off to the machine shop in the coming weeks. Overall it wasn't terrible to get apart.

Just a vent. The only music sirens in the US are a few unconfirmed first gen units. All 12 second generation units have been found and all are in Japan. There's also a duct on the side.
