I.D. This siren!

[loudmouth]

That is the same size as the other examples of this siren. This, just for reference, is the same type of siren that has been discussed from the Country Lakes, NJ Fire Department (which should be coming down shortly and going into my collection) and the Mount Union, Pa Fire Department (who I have been trying to wrangle a test out of). There is another one in Bolton, Mass (that has not been discussed on here) which appears to be an older version (this is not the best picture). I can't wait until I get home and can watch this video!!!

Doesn't this siren have a 9/12 port ratio?

Apparently, these things were only made in the 1930's as that's the only lit I've ever seen on them. There's also one in southern NJ somewhere.

Where is this located? It's not in Salisbury, NC is it?

It says "Salisbury Municipal Untilities" on the building in the photo.
Wonder if that's where they make the steaks?

Haha....

Upon further investigation, this looks to be Salisbury, MO.

If the siren is still in operation, i'll make a trip later on next year over there to record it. About a 3 hour drive from Kansas city metro i believe...

The one in New Jersey is actually in middle New Jersey, it was the fire siren for the Country Lakes Fire Department in Burlington County, NJ. It is no longer used and will most likely be coming down and going into the Dave Fritz Collection. In looking at the ports and counting them, it appears that it is an 8 and 12 port siren....I just need to get some final things worked out with the fire chief. Of course, once it comes down and is in my hands I will post a million pictures for all of you and depending on what the power requirements are.. I will even get a video (I have an STH-10 that is 3 Phase, 440 Volt...there isn't anywhere around here that has THAT kind of power that I can tap into LOL).

That's one I had never seen. I like the fact that it's said to be such an early model siren. If it predates the (x)T22s, I wonder if Fereral copied and "improved" this Fedelcode by adding horns? Definitely going on my want list!

I had a feeling in 01 when I first saw this siren it might be inactive as there's a rusty 5 down the road from it

.

Good to hear it's getting a good home. I smell a road trip to PA in my future
