I have a CD-rom of all the sirens Clayton installed..., at least from a few years ago, minus some more recent Am-Sig T-128's. Can burn you a copy if ya want. (As long as Clayton's cool with it)

Where is the one remaining Allertor? I thought the last one was replaced several weeks ago.

There are also a few RM-127s around here - there's one in Delhi and another one out in Newtown.

I am not aware of any other models besides that.

Well, it appears that Allertor in Springdale is still there.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add the P-127s.

I'll have to drive by there again and check it out. I'd heard that it was going to be replaced with a T-128 several weeks ago. If it's still there then either it didn't end up getting replaced for some reason, or someone got smart and realized that fixing the rotator is a lot cheaper than buying a whole new siren.

Speaking of Springdale sirens... What's with the oddball mounting of the T-128 on the Springdale fire department?

I know, that T-128 looks weird sitting on top of the station.

Wow, that thing sure is low-mounted for such a loud siren. :? About how high off the ground is it? I'd have to guess 30' at best.

Yeah, I'm guessing about the same, maybe 25 feet.

Wow, that would be a good siren to record sometime, especially if there is a hill nearby that would put you eye level with the siren.
