Hello all,
Sorry I haven't been active in a while; busy times abound. I have recently made some headway with an old friend.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got em.
Proud owner of a Federal Electric Type Mach. 3, 9/12 port dual rotor siren!
Removal from the tower was pretty easy with help from a crane, but removing the shroud and all that scrap around it was very challenging. Thankfully brute strength and an angle grinder made light work of everything! The siren now resides in the Rural Heritage Museum in Elkader, Iowa, on loan until I get more space, but it's not going anywhere for a while. I plan to fully restore it to its former glory once I save up money to do so.
Enough talking; here are the pictures!
