Can someone please identify this siren? My mind keeps telling me it's a federal signal, but I'm not sure of the model.
EDIT: Also, would this would be considered an omnidirectional, right?

Looks like a later model Type-B Dual Head to me.

Re: Post your Mystery Sirens here.
Going through some older photos that I'm just getting around to adding to the Virginia map, and this one's got me stumped. It's one of several older sirens on Fort Eustis, and the only one that isn't Federal that I know of (outside of the 4 ADT ClearVoice arrays I've found). To me it has the lines of a Sterling K, but I can't seem to find any photos of a K-2 to compare it with, and it's too small to be a K-5. Thoughts?

I could possibly be a General Detroit Corp Siren.VASirens wrote:To me it has the lines of a Sterling K, but I can't seem to find any photos of a K-2 to compare it.

Also, I didn't take this pic, I got it from Google Street View.
I own: One complete SiraTone, another SiraTone control module, a 1600W MC, 2 old ATI controllers, 2 round ATI horns with drivers, a ATI-DSA 4 thing, a Federal Signal FC, AR timer and Siratrol, and a small CD&F.
Re: Post your Mystery Sirens here.
That's exactly what it is, it's a CTI siren that we don't really have any more classification for as of yet.

Re: Post your Mystery Sirens here.
This little guy turned up at the Greenwood VFC in Winchester, VA:

Not sure if it's a vent or a siren, but it looks like a siren to me, especially with the radio antenna being on the same tower. The question is, what is it?

Re: Post your Mystery Sirens here.
It's definitely a siren, I can't imagine a vent floating on a tower with no ducting. It looks like maybe a B&M siren of some sort to me.

Re: Post your Mystery Sirens here.
Sure does look like a model 20 with a rotten housing to me.
Down to a Thunderbolt chopper, still a few goofy flashlight-siren combos, and a Model L.
