The second Greenville unit was purchased by SWS and is now back in its place of manufacture. SE Wisconsin. This unit is in very poor shape due to sitting in a field for many years. Tons of mud dauber nest and corrosion were found inside. Both the blower, blower motor, and rotator assembly were seize...

The Hurricanes definitely going to stay up for a pretty long time. One thing i wonder is if someone will buy the Hurricane and refurbish it do... :?: Not too sure about that one. If ASC or SWS are keeping it alive and how its radio was changed to be apart of Milwaukee's new system, it definitely is...

I've never lived in a town that uses one for a curfew siren, but I've found it fairly odd to use one for such especially for a late curfew like 10pm. Another odd/interesting use was that at one time the Wisconsin Central yards Roundhouse in North Fond du Lac used their STH-10 as a alarm to alert any...

Who the heck is this guy?

I have made direct contact with Talia. We know the exact location of it. It is currently in limbo as far as a restoration goes. Me and another veteran member on this forum are the first contacts if the Cosgrave would need to be passed on. With respect to their privacy, I will not be revealing any ot...

All, I have attempted to both PM and email Talia. No response thus far. If anyone can assist me with contact I would appreciate it

The STH-10 by the pizza place was the only one replaced because it no longer worked. I'm pretty sure they only bought a rectifier and Eclipse siren head and that everything else from the old STH-10 was re-used.

This is what it appeared to be the case. Went by it this morning
