And a siren that new was just thrown out?
Yup, as far as I'm aware they all went straight in the bin. The Dillingham East Gate I-Force faired the worst, dare I say worse than some of the mechanical legacy sirens. It only lasted about 10 years, and looked like an absolute rust bucket due to the corroding metal bracket atop the siren that holds the solar panels in place. The Ala Wai I-Force is the only survivor in the entire state. There is a green I-Force still standing in Hawai'i Kai, but it's been replaced by a 6024B & just sits abandoned on it's pole. The green I-force below is in Hawai'i Kai at Maunalua Bay. The White I-Force below was removed, and was located at Dillingham Airfield East Gate. Notice the solar panels have collapsed on the White I-Force. I took that photo around 2014-2015.
