Is the 2001 a newer 2001? If so, then it likely has the brushing issue

If I recall correctly, the last 2 digits of the serial number signify the year of installation. If so, then this siren was installed in 1956 and usds a 6M series A1 blower. Of course, the owner could have very easily gotten a different blower for it.

Definitely 10/12. There's just something so unique and harmonic about that ratio.

Can't forget this gem!

The thunderbolt behind the Walmart in Napoleon, OH sounds horrible and its rotator is broken

That siren has actually been struck by lightning several times. It's a miracle it even works at all

I was wondering if they were in full service yet. I will probably record one over the summer. It’s nice to see some 508s in central Indiana, as opposed to just 2001s. (Not that 2001s aren’t great sirens...it’s just nice to have a bit of variety.)

One of Columbus Ohio’s 4004s is right off of I-270 Eastbound. There is also a Werden P-127, off of I-70 Eastbound in Englewood. I unfortunately do not have any picture of these sirens.

Are there any active 408s or 812s left in existence?

DEFINITELY 7/10 port and 10/12 port. 7/10s sound so eerie, and 10/12 ports have a very harmonic, musical sound to them.

Love hearing some 6M action!
