Look at the siren museum at airraidsirens.com, it has a model 3 with a set of info on it.

I wanted to listen to a recording of one on the media page, but the link is broken. Does anybody know the general weight? I looked in one of the catelogs, and the number I saw was 240?

I recorded the one on the media page. For years, the siren would sound ok some times, and sick the other times, with a slow windup. It was when I joined the fire dept, that I realized the siren was three phase being powered by an extremely old static phase converter. The converter actually blew up and caught fire a couple of years ago, and the siren scrapped (a 3v8 was put in it's place).

Here is a recording of a Model 3, or a sick Model 5.

Well, I have to call the fire department myself, or wait untill wednesday when my mom's boyfriend see's the fire fighter. I am going to call tommarow after my five hour driving course. I did call a few moments ago, but no answer (as expected)

Never mind that! I just called again and I asked about it. The man said that they don't use it anymore, and never will again. I asked if they would be intertested in selling it, and he said he would have to check with the comissioner. He wrote down my name and number, then told me that they had a meeting tonight and would ask then!

I DID IT!!!! He said for $100 it is mine! He just has to talk to one more comissioner about legal stuff first.

Good job and good luck with the details- the most fun part of it all!

[SirenMadness]

Good luck with the very likely acquisition, man!

Congratulations! Someone else now has their own siren. Send some pictures when it is finally in your possession. I hope to get a siren one day also. I think a good start for me would be a Federal Model 2, as it is simple, not too heavy(Weighs a little more than a Hunter Original Cast Iron Ceiling Fan), and does not take up much space. It would look good for decoration in my living room!(live in an apartment)
