Just yesterday, there was a brand new video of the Kishiwada music siren playing in 2015. This might've been J-Alert, as the speakers were mounted there in 2015, but I've never seen one that played the wind-down as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc6A1wm2na4 It's good to see another higher-qu...

Small sirens can still have a ton of torque, so I recommend propping it up between some heavy objects so it doesn't roll about.

One problem could be that those are not factory-set screws holding the chopper on the shaft. The set screws should have allen screw cutouts, not screw driver cutouts. Those are indeed factory screws. I don't have pictures handy but my early A, as well as all others I've seen, also has these button-...

Can you post any pictures of the siren by chance? The best way to get the rotor out is to lightly sand the exposed bit of shaft that sticks out from the rotor (if there is any) and spray some penetrating oil around the shaft and rotor. Let it soak for a while, reapply a few times, then GENTLY tap on...

You sir are a true hero. Thank you for saving such an old siren from scrap! That's a very early Type B as others have said. Are there any ID tags still left on it?

Here are a few things that I noticed, as I used to be out there a year ago: - Lidgerwood's siren is indeed a Sterling M-5 - Gwinner also has a Federal Model RX attached to Full Circle Ag at the corner of 1st Ave. & 1st St. Also of note the STH-10 they have is located at the lower right corner of...

Congratulations on the rare find! This appears to actually be a Model AX, with the "X" standing for explosion-proof siren. There are a few Model RXs out there; essentially looking like an early Model L with a cover of the intake and chopper. These were often used on submarines or aircraft ...

These sirens pictured previously are B&M Model 10’s. Here’s a similar looking siren confirmed to be a B&M in Grapevine, TX:

There are 2 (I think) Darley Model 2s on a post next to the fire department in Montgomery, Massachusetts.

I'd be willing to bet that one was single-tone and the other is dual-tone; a lot of places seemed to do this back in the day.

So I found an odd siren in New York, most likely a Model 1, and then I stumbled across this photo. A Model 2 with a Model 1 housing? Model 2: https://www.facebook.com/320319255360836/photos/pcb.462303111162449/462303034495790/?type=3&theater Model 1: http://www.jmarcoz.com/sirens/morrisville2_n...
