Found a Sentry Defender!

I got bored this weekend while I was at my grandparents in Rochester, IN for Memorial Day so I decided to go for a drive. While in the nearby town of Argos, IN, I found a sight I didn't think I'd ever see, a Sentry Defender. I literally yelled "Holy S**t, it's a Defender!" out my window when I saw it. Here's a few pictures I snapped with my cell phone.

Wow, very nice find! Do you know when and if they test it? You should record a video sometime.

[bmeiser]

I'm not sure if they do or not but I will try to find out. Getting a test video won't be an easy task though, because it is about 2 hours away from me. It would probably be worth it though.

[Mr.Thunderbolt]

Same thing for me too. I'll see what I can do.

Awesome! Not many Defender's out there... Or from what I know. They don't look very large. A video of the Defender would be cool, but as you said with it being 2 hours away, that complicates it. I can live with a picture though, really nice find!

it sounds like Sentry may drop the Defender from its siren lineup from what Im told, its not ordered much.

Thats unfortunate... The 10V2T is their most commonly ordered siren, so I can see why they may drop some of the more unpopular ones, but the Defender? I think its a bad idea.

Where did you get that data from? It would surprise me, because I think I've seen more each of 3V8s, 7V8s, and 10Vs than 10V2Ts. Then again, maybe siren systems I haven't seen have a lot more 10V2Ts out there.

Otherwise, great find on the Defender though!

Yeah I was told by a Sentry dealer that the Defender was sort of a one-off job they did for a customer who wanted a rotating siren. I think it has great potential, and I would take a defender over an omnidirectional sentry any day. Too bad they are dumping there chance to make a "modern" siren that can actually compete in the market.

Wow, it sucks that they are thinking about dropping the Defender, as it is truly a unique siren in their lineup. Still, great pictures you got there... the Defender looks very unique and a bit older-styled in comparison to other rotating sirens today.
