Re: 1917 Denver Quadruplex siren restoration thread

I wonder about the possibility the siren had perhaps been sitting in a compromised position for a rather extended period of time. I'd imagine the long shaft would've picked up whatever slack from the weight bearing down towards the middle and upset the alignment. :?:

Cool resto

Re: Solenis - Low Moor (UK) December 2023 - Klaxon ES2S

The thick of night; crazy seeing a siren being tested so late! :lol:

Probably my fave electronic-siren tone though!

Re: Mobil Directo in Germany, of all places

Biersach & Niedermeyer: a brand name that itself sounds as though someone could easily mistake it for being of German origin if not for the "Milwaukee WI USA" stamped directly underneath. :mrgreen:

Pretty much my ideal alarm clock scenario! :lol:

Re: Rare First Generation SD-10 Found

A band straight in front of the ports can only serve to diminish the output, and I'm sure at least a few on the design team had their doubts. I think more than anything it served to act as a convenient protective ring against nesting critters.

Re: Sarnia's ACA Alertronics need your help.

Heh, would've been neat if they instead used that on the ATIs rather than the standard dull ATI beep.
