very sorry to bump this in all but over in L.A. I think they still have one 2000 model check the L.A. air raid siren map and you should find it. and if I heard right it runs on a turbine engine of some sort its still there as of 2016
Yes, there is one 2000 left in the Windsor Hills area. However, it does not run anymore. It hasn't since roughly the late 1980s, when LA decommissioned their system. And as of 2016, it is an all original 2000. Lately though it has been tampered with. The siren does still retain its original engine as seen here:

It's not exactly original. It was converted from gas to propane, but either way it's still basically the only one remaining that's complete.
My knowledge excels on the Federal Thunderbolt siren and SiraTone EOWS sirens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
