Oooooh, nice. I don't think I've ever seen a photo of a real Fedelcode before. Often it'll say "Fedelcode" on the housing, but won't actually have a damper.

I think I read somewhere that they used these for morse code back in the day. That would be something to hear.

Not sure if there's a thread for this already; a forum search revealed nothing. So as the title suggests, post photos of any ID tags that you have, and mention what siren they're from. Might be helpful for gathering information! To start, here's the tag from my Model A, which dates to around 1940 I ...

According to the spec sheet, the official name for it is the POW Model 120.

This thread is awesome, by the way. It's what I come to this site to see. Can't wait to hear what the siren sounds like.

I'm weird in that I have a life list of sirens saved on my computer (kinda like bird-watching, but with sirens, haha), so all I gotta do is copy and paste: Seen: ACA Cyclone 125 ACA Screamer ASC Tempest-121 ASC Tempest-128 ATI HPSS32 Cooper WAVES HPSA-8108-R Darley Champion (horizontal) Darley Champ...

Check this out! I drove past this the other day. I literally had no idea it (and the old Model 5 next to it) existed despite my extensive map of the county (Ulster; check the link in my signature), so I was pretty hyped to find it. I think it's the old Highland fire house. The new one has a recentl...

Wow, nice! I don't know if anyone else owns one of these yet. I didn't know they were only 1.5HP. I'd guess it'd be on about the same level as the Little Giant. Can you make out the "Type" on the ID plate? To me it looks like 4 A 3/4 U. Not sure what that means. You got this from Clintonda...

Ah yes, I found a couple of those recently. Here's one of them. The Model 5 has been removed since that street view was taken, but you can see how much it dwarfs the Siro-Drone. Were there different sizes? I remember hearing that it was 5HP, but the ones I've seen look too small.

Good stuff. You can also usually find fire district maps by county, which often have station locations on them. That's my primary method of finding sirens, since most east coast sirens are found at fire stations.

I know what a Sterling 2V8 is, but they also made a 3V8 (prior to the Sentry model), which Darley sold a modified version of (kinda like they did with the Model X series). I was wondering how you can tell the difference. What did Darley change on the siren?

So I see quite a few of these around, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of information on them. What is the difference between a Sterling 3V8 and a Darley 3V8? I have a few photos to accompany this question. This one has 8 ports and a single cone on top. BloomingtonFDBinnewaterSta..JPG I'm pr...
