Re: Vintage siren photos thread

Re: STL-10 tag

Seeing as the tag says the siren is government property, I would start by reaching out the office of the town in which this siren is located. At the very least, they should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Re: Are there any places in Michigan that test weekly?

Garden City, MI and Westland, MI test their sirens every Saturday at noon.
Garden City's 2001s do 90 seconds of Alert, and Westland's Whelen WPS-2800's do Federal Signal's Westminster chime. (They all have Federal Signal control setups)

5/26/18 - Federal Signal 2001-130 Garden City, MI

Decided to test out my new camera's video recording chops at the 2001-130 by my house.
Sorry for the auto-focus.

Re: Sirens Removal Question

If its "illegal" to keep the units after removal without destroying them, WSS should be raided by the FBI any day now. I've never heard of Federal mandating all old units be destroyed, and I have called Federal on the phone before. They were very kind and helpful, and even sent me a produc...

Re: Problem with Thunderbolt AR

If you have the AR hooked to the RCM1 properly you can switch the "Control" switch to "Test" and start a signal and it will only initiate the chopper starter and Agastat, and you'll know the AR works.

Re: Does anyone know of any EOWS sirens that still do SiraTone chimes?

Although not technically EOWS sirens per se, Westland, MI's Whelen 2800's use Federal's controls, and they do Westminster every Saturday at noon.
