This M was removed from display, then put back up about 12 years later, only without the motor and the rotors..... I think that the ex-display Model M looks the most cursed, it reminds me of what I thought sirens looked like before properly getting into them… I can very much relate. I wonder what h...

Here's some weird Sterling stuff for you guys. This M used to be mounted atop a water tank. I've only seen this done twice, to memory. This is the one I own https://maps.app.goo.gl/YWgUqcz3mVDQV5T56 Model 2V8 on a gazebo https://maps.app.goo.gl/j2nGWiE7TUePL76b8 Model M with the sounders mounted at ...

This is my map, which is intended to document every known location of Sterling Sirens and related products, including both past and present. I will mark anything that is a Sterling Siren, including removed sirens, as long as there is an exact location available. Please let me know if there is a loca...

What it's at now is as high as it will get. These usually run slightly slower than normal, probably due to the type of bearings they use, though I'm not entirely sure.

8/16 port, too, my favorite. Really nice work on the restoration!
Interesting how the grease cups come out front like that, instead of up top.

I appreciate it mate!

Here's one of the first runs of my 74 year old Sterling Mod. M siren. The pitch was a bit sluggish because of a sub-par brush angle and the bearings not being fully lubricated.

M48? Huh that's interesting. Does the ID plate name it as an M48? Indeed it does. An M48 is a Model M made in the year 1948. They usually would stamp the siren as just "M", though for a short time, they would stamp them as "M", followed by the last 2 digits of the manufacturing ...
