If you wouldn't mind getting a better angle of the tag the next time you're there? With less light glare. I'm trying to make it out.

Is this the one on eBay? Also, it's most likely a Model 20 due to the construction.

There was a post that said it didn't match either the federal signal model 20 or the fedelcode model 20 cause there wasn't a cone above the bottom chopper. It kinda looks more like some fedelcode model 2's due to 3 cones. But the bottom cone is higher so that wouldn't make so much sense. But it is a good guess. Make sure to read the past post's before making a comment.

It's possible that the siren is missing a cone. It's also MUCH too large to be a Model 2. It definitely looks like a Fedelcode creation.

It’s a Federal 20. Has to be. I own a model 7, the rotor and stator are identical except it’s an 8 port rather than 12.

My Federal:
In the picture you posted, the vanes on the rotor are vastly different. The ones on your Federal, when viewed horizontally from the side, are straight. The ones on the mystery siren have an exponential curve.

The mystery siren is still a Federal, presumably built before the introduction of the Model 5. Compare the chopper on it with a Model B chopper, they are nearly identical.

I’m just thinking:

Could it be an elektror or a CLM? The structure looks quite similar to a CLM with the shape, and I do believe they had rounded blades, if i remeber correctly, but i do see where your coming from. CLM omnidirectional sirens were made to be mounted on roofs or poles, but here is where I doubt myself.

It has less ports, still has possibility however. I am still glued to thinking it has possibility to be an elektror. How big is it compared to you?

Sorry if this is all gibberish.
