3 signal ACA Hurricane question

[MysteryTexan75]

Can anyone clear up whether ACA ever made any Hurricanes with solenoids or provide proof of existence? I have heard some people say that a coded model was offered but never sold, while other users say a single one was shipped to a supposed showroom in South Africa.

(Also If anyone can provide photos of a 3 signal ACA hurricane and the solenoid mechanism, that would be even better.)

I don’t have any photos of the mechanism but ACA did indeed produce coded Hurricanes. I may be mixing things up here but one was apparently installed in Milwaukee? They were also mentioned in the manual.
Speaking of the South African unit, an old article of it appeared recently:

That video is from a notorious siren “kiddie” known as Eric Toff. He’s been spreading misinfo for quite a while now, even going so far as to photoshopping fake photos of Thunderbolts in the Philippines.

This is a legendary find, I'm happy to see a photo of this thing finally exists despite the quality of it.
