They are not moveable by hand however they are in good condition physically (Not pits or dings or even scratches just dirt and patina vs corrosion) is their status. My guess in the seize is that the motor is locked up, ice due to snow, or the screw thread is clogged. Once i get this thing vertical and I can work on it properly I can make a better assessment. If it is seized that still isn't the end of the world.jerrylovessirens wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 2:53 amWelcome to the forum! Thanks for posting this to the forum. Facebook, discord, reddit are great. But you can count on ARS being a good resource for archival information.
I do wish you the best on this restoration. If I recall correctly, you said the choppers are free and not seized up?
It will be neat to uncover the details of how this siren works as the teardown begins. Please keep this thread updated!
Oh for sure that will get detailed pictures. For now here is the patent that is my restoration guide (No service manual of course) https://patentimages.storage.googleapis ... 777283.pdf
Jerry and myself would be happy to offer any tips and tricks we have aquired over the years, as I'm sure others will aswell. I might suggest joining the Siren Enthusiasts Facebook group, as there is some knowledge there that you won't find here, and vise versa, it is good to be connected to the community in as many ways as possible, especially when dealing with a rarity such as this.TaliaKuznetsova wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2023 2:01 amI don't want to clog the forums with a entirely seperate thread for this, does anyone know some good names I can contact to help with restoring this siren? I know my way around mechanical objects, have good knowledge of electric motors but I have never done a restoration this grand before. I want to get some advice with experienced people to prevent messing this up when the time comes.
