I'd say if It was turned on it would spit the rotor out in pieces .
Only Sirens made during WW-2 had steel Rotors as aluminum was hard to get
Shoot, that thing is 99.9% guaranteed to be frozen up form both rust and surface aluminum oxide form the rotor. If you flipped this thing on, the motor would hum until it burned up.SirenMadness wrote:Well, the area of the stator between the horns seems rather unaffected, so the inside must be protected from the elements even better.
Yea, your right about the aluminum oxide actually. Not all rotors are made of aluminum then, because some do flake quite a bit. I've seen a model 5 with this problem before, and I have two single tone model 2 rotors from the same time period and only one has that flaking (it's not really it flaking but I'm not sure how else to describe it).SirenMadness wrote:Aluminum oxide is a very thin layer of oxidation, at least much thinner and smoother than rust. I think that the rust would be responsible for more than the aluminum would be. Since sirens require very close tolerances, though, maybe the thing would be locked up.
