Salina, KS STH-10.

Mon Oct 09, 2017 6:35 pm

This siren was installed on top of the Smoky Hill Museum in 1987. these photos were taken inside the museum. The siren is in good shape, it was recently removed due to new sirens being installed in the area. The siren is currently not on display.

I don't own any sirens yet. Lots of 2001-130s around my area, jailbar thunderbolts 1 hour away.

15 minute duty cycle? What if an attack threat or weather warning lasts longer than that? Seems kind of dumb IMO. They should have found a way to cool the motors more effectively like Sentry does. Otherwise, love the pics of the roof mount. That is also my favorite shade of yellow on sirens.
I have an unhealthy obsession with mini sirens.

They only run 3-5 minutes at a time, not during an entire warning.

Anyway, nice pics. Makes me sad to see the Salina system being replaced. Any idea what they are doing with the old system?

From what I've heard they'll be giving all the sirens to other towns and cities in need, the STH-10 pictured is going to stay in the museum.

Here's what the siren looked like when it was still up for those who wonder.
24, and not dead yet.
