Hello, back in December I went to Peterborough Ontario to remove the last air raid siren in there city. It was an Omni-directional CLM, the only one I knew of in Ontario left except in the Diefenbunker museum. It took me one day of calling to get permission to take it down (quickest permission I ever got). I got a crane company to come in, along with a tree climber to work together to take this beast down. After a couple hours I had the siren in the back of our van and on our way home. This is a single phase, 220V, 3 HP model. When it get a bit warmer I'm going to call a couple people up to help me flip it over and then im going to test it.
