Fantastic! It’s great I see such a rare thing get into good hands! Now that it’s home, could you get some more up close and detailed photos of the siren?

Certainly. What parts would you like me to focus on in particular? I can't disassemble it right now due to planning out my attack to avoid broken bolts but i can get up close and personal with it.

For now I’d like to see some better photos of the whole siren, perhaps something to give reference to its size. Other than that, I am curious to see what the vanes look like in the rotors. Thanks!

This is one interesting siren. I wonder if Jerome would be willing to part with theirs? The only thing that needs to be replaced on Jerome's siren for sure are the controls and relay since they are burnt up. I almost wonder if that siren would work with new contactors and relays.

Jerome's appears to be a 3 phase 5 hp model as well, but a very early one.

With bringing up the Jerome Cosgrave, I realized something: Do you have the original controller for it?

Also, I'm kind of wondering how far away the Cosgrave was from your property :)

P.S. You should change your signature to "Proud owner of the 2nd known Cosgrave siren to ever exist"!

From Talia on my Discord server: "It is with great regret i must inform you the siren restoration will not happen for months and maybe even never

My home life has always been volatile and It's finally reached critical levels so... I just walked out."

The siren will remain sitting there unless somebody else goes for it, it seems.
