Did you mean John deere? I don't think they make sirens, just farm and lawn equipment :lol:

I think a siren such as this Cosgrave is far beyond you and your friends' ability to restore. This requires a competent professional.

I wonder if ‘jerrylovessirens’ would be interested, we already know he is very talented from his previous siren restorations.
A British siren enthusiast. Previously lived at the furthest point from any sirens before co-discovering one very close to where he is located. Also features a great discomfort referring to themselves in third-person.

Who knows? Cosgravefan might be able to refurbish it, it's just if they are able to get it.

No, these are mechanically complex and this one is in very poor shape. It might be rude to say this, but you and your friends sound like you're on the young side. A siren like this requires experience and knowledge, as well as skill to restore, because if something breaks, there's no fixing it easily. An adult with experience in doing this should be the one restoring it, like Jerry. I don't think a siren like this belongs in the hands of children.

The way you type really doesn't scream "19 year old", so I apologize if I'm wrong. You aren't known here so we can't take what you say at face value. I still don't think you are the right person for the job.

At this point, we might need to know the location of where the Cosgrave even is, so either Jerry or someone else can get it.

Hopefully Talia can also continue working on the siren!
