Sat Nov 02, 2024 6:12 am

Hi guys newbie here
I came across a siren at a swap meet. I believe it’s a skill sher wailing Joe. Any info would be appreciated especially the positive and negative terminals

I am probably wrong, but it looks to be a Grifco 888.

I do not even understand how you came to this conclusion....

It's like you read the word "australia" and just picked out the most representative Australian siren

Sirens may not be sexy, but they sure work.

I guess the Grifco sirens are inapplicable but I just searched up a Model 777 and found lots of similarities except the chopper.

(NEVER MIND) That is a Skil Sher Wailing Joe, and I found an image of the exact siren.
