The old guy in the first video actually came up to me and asked what I was doing. First time that has ever happened to me.

there was an old 1000 that i used to live by. It also had a broken rotator at one point in time, however now it is fixed and still used about 40 years later. :D

You need to show that video to Art Baker (Franklin County's EMA guy) so he knows the problem and all that.

That is an exquisite video. I love the way the blower shuts down at every wind-down.

they switched off the rotator. it would at least wiggle, the rotator isnt complex, its just a gear and a motor.

I just got word that this particular siren may be replaced with a Whelen 4004.

The belt could have broken...
