No, they wouldn't. they are definitely keeping them for a while.
if anything, they'd most likely replace it with an RM-130, as
thats what most of the sirens are. since they use all ACA produts
now, i highly doubt they'd go with Federal.

Really? I thought ASC still made them, maybe on special order.

it would be cool if they replaced it with another old ACA siren like a
Screamer or Banshee, as those are my 2 favorite ACA models. :)

If I'm right, the rotator runs off the chopper motor by a belt. maybe the belt is shot and needs replaced?

some allertors did, but i think those were called Mobil-directos or
Howlers or something. The belt is visible. This and most allertors
runs of the copper motor by using a gear reducer.

ACA Howlers are the ones driven by a belt. Mobil directos where made by Biersach and Niedermeyer and where chain driven and where pre-allertor. And back in the early 40's and 50's they were made for over seas in the war for bases that did not have power. Right now there some great pictures of the Mobil directos on ASC's site http://www.americansignal.com/about_asc.php
Pretty interesting, Wonder if I can obtain one from Culver City hmmm...?

By the way, I post accurate info and I get smited :?:
