Yes, I'm unbanned. :banshee: When I posted earlier the little user tag hadn't been changed but now it should display the proper status. I agree the 40V2T would have been a novel replacement for the Soundmaster fleet because it produces the same dual tone interval (albeit higher pitched). I've never ...
Those would have been very late Soundmasters, built just before the firm called it quits. The fact they survived this long shows that they were rather tough sirens despite their defects. It is unfortunate to see so many interesting sirens disappear but it's the circle of siren life - the old eventua...

Mason City, Iowa - the poor siren had a burnt out motor and never ran up to full speed when it was observed by Troy years ago. It, along with the Allertors, were sold off at auction upon removal but I do not know who got them.
Is that what can be seen in the video with the damper open? Yes, you should be able to see a wire as I described. If the videos aren't HD it might not be visible. Nice to see my photo there. :P Just to throw this out there...I remember a big stink over what that thing even was. Interesting that it ...
It's as if a dark sinister shadow had to stain itself in every video that features the elusive creature: the penumbral Penetrator. Oh, but will we ever know if its clogged call is that of a damaged damper or a blended bird's nest? Or perhaps... a mangled McDouble from the leftovers of March? Such wo...
I would like to see some good close-ups of that siren's intake assembly. The rotor coasts down much slower than usual, a typical sign that the air intake is clogged. The same effect happens if a solenoid damper is partially shut which will also block airflow. Without a good photo showing what the in...
