New mini siren housing finished!

Wed Dec 24, 2014 8:23 pm

YAY! I have finished Generation 3 siren housing for my Carter MINIMITE. :)
It took two whole days to make and finish it but it's finally done! So, here's some pictures:

And just in time for Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone from Groombridge Warning Systems!

Interesting. I wish I would've thought of using tin cans and Erector/Meccano pieces for housings when I made mini sirens a few years back. I used plastic and Duct Tape instead.

I must say, I do like it, good job. One thing bothers me- wouldn't the height of the bottom can reduce sound output to an extent?

It's built like that with preservation in mind because the siren is 40+ years old, so I don't want it to fade and go brittle. (I've seen a 240v minimite which was grey and had 1/2 of the stator left.)
But anyway, thanks!

Do you plan on painting it? Very nice! it looks like a mini ACA screamer in my opinion.
