Freaky sounding Blanchard, OK

Mon Jun 17, 2013 12:21 am

Okay, I know for a fact that Blanchard has a handful of Sentry's...but what the heck is this?! I hear a Sentry in the background but there's some low sounding siren that sounds dual toned.

Maybe it's a Sentry having some sort of problem? Sound like the pitch was wavering a bit.

It's a Sentry 16V2T-B, located at the police department. It replaced an old dual toned Sterling M-10 a while back, so I guess they wanted to keep that old sound with a more modern, battery-powered siren. Sounds like those batteries are about done for though. On a side note, they also have a bunch of 7V8-Bs scattered around the outskirts of town.

Aha, that's what it was! I knew about the downtown 16V, but didn't know it was dual toned! I might have to get a recording this summer. If they change out the batteries. I thought they had an older, yellow Sentry awhile back before they updated street view and everything but I'm not sure.

I have found 5 or 6 7V8-B's on the outskirts of town near/in neighborhoods.

That or a single phase 10 or 15. 10V2T single-phase Sentries looks comically tall, due to the dual motors.

Is it just me or is that thing leaning incredibly bad?
