You should try and give that siren a new home and some TLC. It sure looks like it could use it.

You bet. I got in to tinkering with two-way radios and CB radios years ago. When I see things like this it is cool to me because it combines my interest in radio communication and sirens.

Very cool! Nice to see that you got it working.

Haha! Coming to a Wal*Mart near you, Lion King sirens! China is trying to be this global super power. China can't manufacture a decent product. Apparently they can't design their own either. China junk!

I would definitely get a motor starter to handle the on/off switching. If you want to keep it a simple on/off control of all three motors just connect all three motors together and connect them to one motor starter that can handle the load of all three. This arrangement would not be recommended for ...

If you want help give these guys some input as to what you are working with. One sentence posts and one to two word replies aren't helping the people trying to help you.

Mechanically, both are assembled the same way. The only variation would be the early Federal Electric/Enterprises Model 2. They had a sand cast motor frame and stator vs. the later die cast and also different brush holders. As long as they look mechanically identical you should be able to just swap ...

This has been discussed before, but here we go. Supercharged sirens do not require as much air pressure (P.S.I.) as much as they require air volume (C.F.M.). Thunderbolt blowers only supply 6 or 7 P.S.I. A person blowing hard exceeds that, but does not have the needed volume of air required to super...

I don't think this one rotates. NOTE: Not my video.

It was definitely designed to rotate. The whole rotator mech. is there. You can even see the rotator motor at the end of that video.

The wind noise isn't too bad. It is that annoying leaf blowing across the road. I just want to run up and smash it.

Very good recording!
