Anything rustoleum will fade. You can get tractor paint (acrylic enamel) and mix hardner with it and it's alright. I painted a 2t22 and P-15 with Tisco cat yellow and they have started fading, but they were both installed in 08 and 09. To get a decent, durable paint finish you have to step up to an ...

Yeah you will have to get a step transformer to get it up to 460, then put a 32 volt buck boost transformer on it to buck it back down to 428. The big question is how deep are your pockets? I know Ronk electrical and Gentec both make three phase converters that will take 240 single and make it 480 t...

Federal used a good motor in those sirens, most of the older ones had a Warfield, which is fairly high end. Only thing I've seen that can knock one out i...

Rainsville, Alabama has a non rotating Allertronic. Seen it in person.

Sounds like the armature failed. They had problems with some of those sirens blowing out rotor bars. They are aluminum not copper, and will melt at a low temperature. If it had gotten to 2000 degrees the fiberglass would have caught on fire.

It probably froze down one winter.
