ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

[BritishCyclone125]

I have some poopoo cell phone pics to upload of a mystery siren within a few miles of my house. It looks like a stack of dinner plates, maybe 10 of them. It is the only siren of this type I have ever seen, seen pictures of, or heard of.

I will upload them shortly, and hopefully take some better ones soon.



EDIT: And I don't know if there is anyone still around from the old days on this board. I have been a part of this, and previous incarnations of the warningsirens/airraidsirens.com board for 10 years now, but haven't been active in quite a while. Who is still here?

is there a google maps link to this "object"?

I am not sure if Marcus even posts here anymore, here is the object in question from his original picture... there is no clear Google Streetview of the siren, the firehouse has a large set back from the roadway and it is impossible to see on Streetview.

Not often I get stumped anymore, but this oddball really has me scratching my head. This is at the Kensington FD in the Kensington section of Berlin CT. Best guess, maybe a Federal/Darley 3?

As mentioned, that's certainly looks like a GCS siren that has taken a beating. The lower louver looks original, but the tops on those are usually flatter. The outside edge of it is the right shape, though.

Found the bottom picture surfing the web; I've been gone for so long I don't know if it has been posted, my apologies if it has. My guess is a Decot.
The other resided at my department where the Model 2 now sits. I'm thinking it's a modified Model 2 or a GCS, possibly even an HOR, but I have no clue.

To me, it looks like a Erick Fire Siren for the bottom.

Top is a Sterling 2V8 and bottom is an Erick.

That looks like a homemade siren, a kind of speaker array

Looking at maps, the Riley Ks siren is now gone. Did we ever figure out what that was?
