The Siren Board

*BUMP for the sake of providing helpful info*

Here's a picture of the whole thing. The louvers are more widely spaced which may help with ID.

My ~1950 Model 5 has a tag on the shroud and a tag on the motor. Did you check the motor?

Yes, the motor tag is the one that's missing. Is your shroud tag on the inside or outside?

I recently acquired a Model 5 with the tag missing. Are there any alternative ways to find information about it such as the production year, voltage, etc. without the tag?

I'm surprised nobody has started a thread about this yet (I think!), so I'm here to take care of it! This thread is dedicated to sirens in the wild with unique paint jobs. I'll start with a few samples from PA:

Not my video but I couldn't help sharing this Whelen from Holtwood Dam on the Susquehanna River in York County, PA. The echo off the water combined with the strobe makes for a very eerie atmosphere in my opinion. I believe this replaced some sort of Sterling as well. Enjoy!

First former TMI siren that I've captured in the wild. No other sirens have been reinstalled yet, but there are a couple places that may get one. In the meantime, enjoy this video!
