Baldwin VFD Video

Here is a really cool video from the early 1970s. Sounds like a Federal Model 7 or maybe a HOR?

Definitely sounds like a Model 7 to me. Quick windup, 12-ports, and has that distinct sound that the Model 5/7's had.

The single tone HOR vertical sirens had very rapid windups also, and they sounded very similiar to a model 5.

There used to be a video of one in LI on youtube, don't know if it is there anymore.
