I was just seeing if anyone could confirm whether or not that this siren, next to the former ACA factory is the same prototype Cyclone seen in the demo video from 1982. The street view which still has the siren in it is dated and blurry so i can't tell easily.

Prototype Cyclone.
Down to a Thunderbolt chopper, still a few goofy flashlight-siren combos, and a Model L.

Re: Prototype Cyclone.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

Re: Prototype Cyclone.
They changed the Cyclone on the pole with different generations. This particular one seen in street view is one that looks like a standard Cyclone 125, except it has a disc around the bottom which they were using to see if it would improve distance. I will try and find the photo of it.

Re: Prototype Cyclone.
On the latest promotional video the Cyclone with a disk on the bottom of the chopper was replaced with a conventional Cyclone 125 albeit with a coding mechanism:

Re: Prototype Cyclone.
Sorry to bump this but, is there any way to see that video now? I've only seen 1979-1981 demo tapes.
Federal Enterprises Model 5B (Sold), 3 Pianos, 86' Honda Spree, and just way too many Player Piano Rolls.
