I am starting to believe that everyone on this forum is very negative about everything. I am 15 right now. I have the garage space to work on sirens. If you also looked into a bit more about me, you would know that I am going to restore them and open an exhibit at the Kansas Air Museum. Much like other enthusiasts who keep them at their own house, yes I would probably blow it a few f***ing times. I am good with tools and motors and electricity. I joined this forum in hopes of finding support and talk with fellow enthusiasts, but so far, about half of the people on here just like to s#!t on other people.
Hey, my thoughts on what you said above are not everyone is being negative on you. There are hurdles to legally obtaining a siren and you just can't go take them at random. everyone who collects sirens on here has done it through some legal means or by obtaining permission. I say go for it if you can obtain a siren with permission from the powers that be, and you've formulated some kind of plan to handle/store it, go get one then. These guys on here are just looking out for your best interest and they're just letting you know from their experience what's involved and what they've been through with obtaining one of these devices legally barring the flaming lol!
IMO living in tornado country might make it a little more difficult for you to obtain any kind of warning siren from the local authorities.Just sayin. They really don't want any potential for "loose cannons" so to speak sounding false alarms so you might have some problems there. If you can show them you are a responsible collector and that your intentions are for a historical display at the Kansas air museum, Whoever you need to talk to just might buy it.
Good luck on your mission!Remember nothing ventured nothing gained...
