Re: Siren scrapyards/graveyards in California

I wanted to refurbish an old siren recently. I have thought of taking down a Scream Master from a nearby city where I live so that I could refurbish it, but I kinda doubt it is a good idea. Do you know any siren scrapyards/graveyards similar to West Shore Services but in California or even Nevada? ...

Re: New system coming to Beverly Hills, California

Bump:
Recently a few enthusiasts have passed by, and some sirens are going up. They appear to be Modulator II 6024B. It's happening! Unsure exactly when all sirens will be installed and tested yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is soon.

Re: Apparently San Bernardino has a Gas Mobil Directo

There's another gas Directo elsewhere in San Bernardino which also appears to be in good shape besides some minor surface rust, and that one has been sitting out in the sun for several decades with no tree cover.

Re: Apparently San Bernardino has a Gas Mobil Directo

Kole Moore contacted the fire station a few weeks ago and apparently they actually had this particular unit running about 7-8 years ago. It's really hard to see through the trees.
