What I can't believe is you managed to get a B-Series, that is amazing they are in no way a common series. Good job!

You are so lucky to own it. Even it's single phase and b-series. I have been working so hard to get an outdoor siren since last 2013. No luck for me yet.

Just curious. What is the "SB" you added to the model number?
I only see 1000BT on the data plate?

I'm trying to look for a B-series Service Manual (for useful info, you know). I've searched through the "Siren Manuals" thread and found nothing but dead links, and Google provides the same thing. Anyone know where I can find one?

I just ran my harper woods B series today.
Chopper and rotation still work great.
Maybe next spring I'll start restoring this one.

Glad to hear that your B-series is a complete working unit.

Glad to hear that your B-series is (somewhat) famous, and a complete working unit.
Why do you say somewhat famous?
