There used to be a Modulator 1004 at Big Spring Park up until around 2010.

We had 2 modulator 1004's in the park. North and South. North was taken down when they built the Summit building (RBC Bank) on the parking deck. It was moved to Ditto. It got struck by lightning, frying everything. It was replaced with a rebuilt 2T. South was flooded out in 2003 when we had the massive flash flood event and some controls had to be replaced and mounted higher. I believe it too was later damaged by lightning and that siren was later replaced with a new model 2.

Here is an old picture of the North Modulator 1004 before it was taken down:
