Are there any siren "graveyards" around Iowa?

Fri Oct 28, 2016 1:21 am

I am really really curious right now of where there is a siren junkyard around Iowa.
Is there? I'm trying to know where there is one so when I'm able to start driving, I would go to that siren junkyard and look around, then in the future,
I could pick up one.
I'm looking all over google maps but I give up, I have no idea if there is one :\ :\ :\

No one will tell you locations for reasons that are obvious if you search the board enough. West Shore Services in Michigan is your best bet, and unlike city-owned lots(which most siren graveyards are), they are friendly to siren enthusiasts stalking around, with permission of course.
Down to a Thunderbolt chopper, still a few goofy flashlight-siren combos, and a Model L.

No. The only one I knew of was an electrical contractor that had a few thunderbolts and STH-10s that had a contract with DAEC to work on their Whelens, but he got rid of them 5 years ago. Your best bet is driving around to some small towns. If they have a new siren, chances are they have an old one that was just replaced. Or, you can make the trip to WSS.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

Ok, because I found a whelen laying flat on it's pole in the middle of a field.
BTW, I'm trying to figure out something about a 4004 near me, I literally live 5 minutes away from a 4004, located on 29th Ave & 10th Street, On the old Whelen 3016, the control box was labeled "34-E"
It's still labelled "34-E" On the 4004, do you know what 34-E means? Like is that the control box's model name or something?

That most likely just the siren's number in the system as a whole. I would assume that's the number used in the mapping software.

Where did you happen to see that? Was it a DAEC siren? Also, what 4J said is most likely correct.

Honestly, me also being in Iowa, would too like to know if there are any graveyards too.

Well, either WSS or search around a bunch of electrical contractors, scrap yards or contact the DAEC.
