That's a Canadian Model 2. Quite literally listed as that in the catalogues.
Nice truck, too...
Also called the Model "2-3Z" on the tags on later models.

Re: 1986 ACA Alertronic 6000R

Rotational Alertronics normally use rings, in a similar fashion to the WS-2000R. This meant it didn't have to oscillate, but the rings require more maintenance and can cause skipping and other issues for electronic sirens. They did offer an oscillating model with direct-wired drivers, which JCB owns.

Looks sorta like a Fedelcode Model 2 that's covered in snow.

Re: Mogi das Cruzes, SP, Brazil Mystery Siren

It's an Engesig OMNI, which is Engesig's clone of the Modulator, albeit with differently shaped cells. Engesig is based out of São Paulo.

Re: South-ish Vancouver Island, BC (and Galiano Island) siren test times?

The 128 was installed earlier this year, so it's brand spanking new. Here's the site: https://prcemc.ca/event/wildfire-siren-test/ I also have a Canada-wide siren map, which includes BC. I haven't checked all of BC, so there's probably more that I don't know about, but a lot of sirens are mapped in ...

Re: South-ish Vancouver Island, BC (and Galiano Island) siren test times?

Tofino's system of Modulators tests every Friday of the month at 11AM. Predator Ridge has a siren test schedule on their website, the next test being a growl test of their siren tomorrow at 2PM, they alternate between AC and DC tests every month. They have a T-128 at their fire station. I'm not sure...

Re: Hi, I'm the owner of the 2nd known Cosgrave/Codwell

No, these are mechanically complex and this one is in very poor shape. It might be rude to say this, but you and your friends sound like you're on the young side. A siren like this requires experience and knowledge, as well as skill to restore, because if something breaks, there's no fixing it easil...
