Anyone know what this is?

Sorry about the image size, and quality. I can tell you, it has a somewhat tall rotor, and two port rows, dual tone.

*gasp* That almost looks like the ACA Sentry 95 prototype! :shock: It probably isnt, though.

Perhaps a Decot without the "laundry basket" cover?

It sure has the lookings to be possibly some sort of ACA Sentry 95. I was browsing through some old folders on my computer and came across my long lost "Siren" folder containing tons of recordings, videos, and literature. I happened to come across this old brochure cover from ACA and low and behold, the ACA Sentry 95 is on there. I think it's a close resemblance to the siren Nelso found.

Sorry to bump this very old post but I have info on this siren. My mom grew up in Sebeka, MN during 60s and 70s. She said the siren was used for fire calls (attack/wail) and a short blast at noon, 6pm and 10pm and tornado/severe weather (alert) and of course civil defense.

When I showed my mom a street view image of it, she kind of sort of recognized it but she said when she was growing up, it was on the water tower. That water tower has since been replaced, by a newer water tower so we guessed that it must have been moved from the old water tower to its current location. Me and my mom plan to contact the city about this siren.

Looks dual-tone judging by that illustration.

I believe it was, and actually all of those pictures of sirens are actual photos. No drawings or illustrations.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

Could you give the streetview link? I'd really like to see it, thanks!!
