We don’t know at the moment.

9 ports.

Bump.
Let me try to clear this up for you.
The Weltex sirens are 9 port, with the chopper/stator assembly on the bottom and the motor on top. The chopper and motor is supported by legs. The motor is covered with a Model 5-like "Paint Can" shroud. It has 1 louver in the middle of a cylinder-shaped housing. As far as I know, these came in 5hp and 3hp.

Thanks for the info, also the big mystery is how they are supposed to look? I've seen one without the motor cover but with the chopper cover, and one with the motor cover but the chopper was visible, it's pretty hard to recognize them unfortunately, I hope someone will FINALLY find one working or maybe brochures or ads

There was a video posted in this thread. They are supposed to look like this. https://ibb.co/R0YS7WM Minus the top cover thingy.

The thing is that I've seen quite a few pictures of them, and they appear to be either 9 ports or 12 ports (I guess?)
For the HP I didn't knew but look at the pictures, it seems that there is two models of this siren, one with the 9 ports and one with the 12 ports, and the one with the 9 ports looks like it's the one that's the so called "paint can" house on it

That's the only pictures I've found for now, some of them were on the Facebook group by the way, I hope all these pictures can help ! I post them for the non-Facebook users maybe
