ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

This was posted here in the early, early days of this thread and no one ever figured it out (not to my knowledge, anyways).

Looks like an AL-7200

It doesn't have speakers, and the guy who described it described it like 10 dinner plates stacked

I think that is just part of a chimney, as I see these on top of houses in my neighborhood a lot.

It looks like it's up on a wooden pole, so I doubt it.

I think that may be a rusty pipe for a woodstove or ventilation and such.

It looks extremely large to be some kind of chimney vent, and if that were a metal exhaust pipe it looks like that would be a lot of weight for it to carry. Not to mention it wouldn't need to be anywhere near that long and tall.

Judging by the size if it is or was a siren, I would not be shocked if its a 2 crammed into some custom housing.

I'm stumped. Some dual-head thing. It might be a Sterling, but I doubt it.

What a coincidence, I just read about this. This siren was confirmed to be a Castle Castings siren. It is 10/12 port and there are a few videos of it. I'll try to find them. But yeah, it's a Castle Castings.

Could possibly a 2nd gen. Federal Electric Type B or a W.S. Darley Champion.

It's a Castle Castings, as confirmed here: https://www.airraidsirens.net/forums/vi ... rg#p182802
There are no confirmed 10/12 Champions or Bs, so....

I thought of that then I quickly dismissed the possibility because why would there be one in the US.
Turns out I was right.
