But do we have any information on what the housings looked like on these things? That is if they even had any
They looked like Model X's with a LOT more louvers.

I'm not sure what this model is but I'm guessing that its a Model 888.

These are not Grifco 888s or any Grifco, this is a BGE siren. Yes, this is in Canberra but one of them are still existing in Canberra in Australia as Air raid sirens.

This Grifco 777 is still in action to this day, activated by a fire indicator panel, used to alert staff on a large complex of the need to head to the emergency assembly area.

So apparently Grifco still makes sirens. Is the 999 still in production?

Currently working on making mixtapes I guess.
Maybe violating FCC laws here and there

It's been found that dual rotor Fedelcodes aren't Model 20s, just a head's up. They're the Type Mach. 3, 5, and 10.
I do agree though, it's like you took a Type Mach. 5 and added a bunch more skirts to it.

Bump. The 888 MK2 and 999 were in production until ceased around 2006-07. So no, Grifco today doesn't associate with sirens anymore ever since they were bought by the Chamberlain group.
