Here's a recording of the siren. Sounds kinda high pitched than usual. Read video description for more information.

To activate the siren, they must switch to 60 minutes. It only activates the siren for about 4 minutes of attack. That's weird that they install the switch timer thing that programs the siren to sound 4 minute of attack.

Also, the siren is connected to custom attack signal timing box thing witch is this:











Note: The cabinet does not have an ID tag.

All Model 2s are single phase, maybe they changed the brush angle

To the best of my knowledge you can't change the brush angle on a 2, you can only adjust tension. I may be wrong though...

yes he is correct. The brush angle on a model 2 is fixed since it's a series wound motor. It's speed is controlled by the voltage you feed it.
