Well. What a catch! Not only did you catch a rare siren, but I'm glad my doubts about it not being on its original controller were put to rest because it most certainly is.

But even more interesting... It doesn't oscillate. This siren rotates 360 degrees. I wonder what's up with that. I think this is the only Whelen ever seen in the wild that does that. And I can assure you that when Saint Louis County had these, they certainly did oscillate. I'd love to know what the story behind that is.

Thank you for capturing the super rare gem. Just proves there's discoveries yet to be made. Thanks for all the time and effort

Thank you guys :) I sadly had to disable likes and dislikes. But it's the first whelen that doesn't oscillate and I'm thinking it may be using collector rings.

Why disable dislikes and likes? Haters are gonna hate. :/ I sometimes get 4 dislikes on some of my videos for no reason at all(my single tone ACA P15 video being one example).
I own: One complete SiraTone, another SiraTone control module, a 1600W MC, 2 old ATI controllers, 2 round ATI horns with drivers, a ATI-DSA 4 thing, a Federal Signal FC, AR timer and Siratrol, and a small CD&F.

A lot of people were just disliking it for seemingly no reason. From what I've heard, it was at 23 likes and 16 dislikes at the time the ratings were disabled.

Friends don't let friends post videos with tones.

I'll leave the likes and dislikes on. If it gets too far out of hand, out the door it goes
