Burrton's Model 5 (don't remember exactly where it is) is on a tripod tower just eight feet off the ground. I bet those who live next to the thing get their ears blasted every time it goes off!

The original dual-headed fire siren sounds almost like a 2001.

We have an old Westinghouse air compressor with a 5hp Tri-Clad motor which would probably do the same thing to you.

There is a Sterling M single-tone to the northwest of here in Haven that's been there since the 1930s. It's still very functional and is part of the town's weather warning system, which consists almost entirely of Sterling 7V8s. There is a 3T22 at the fire station but it is not part of the main syst...

That's over $12,000 in today's money.

The wind warning light is actually powered by the wind. The product is actually made by a small engineering consulting firm in Albuquerque, NM. They are individually hand-built to order, and cost $3,200!

Is the 612 400w per re-entrant horn.

Nope; two 200w drivers per horn.

The Chrysler probably needs a new motor, though. That part can get worn out over time.

Gee, you think? It has a 180hp gas engine!

I will have you know that we are specing out a new engine and were very, very dissapointed to find out that we couldn't use the orignal GE Powercall we currently have in our engine in the new one (per NFPA Guidlines). Well, more than 75% of NFPA's codes have the force of law in the United States.

Is that a 10-port model?
