I recall hearing that they were discontinued sometime around 1990 or 1991TrainsAndSirens1 wrote:Probably somewhere in the 1980's.Allenorgan42099 wrote:What about Model 5Ts? We're 5Ts discontinued before normal 5s or at the same time?
any patents held on the Model 5/7 were likely to have expired by the 1960s. They only last for like 17 years, and winning extensions can be tough.kx250rider wrote:I think there's a Chinese company still making "Model 5s". I remember them showing up on eBay a lot in the late 2000s. If I recall, they were very good clones of the Federal Model 5. So my guess is that Federal Signal sold off the Model 5/7 patents to whomever that company in China was, after they stopped making them anymore themselves.

It probably is. I think one or two other of their photos is just an empty housing with no siren guts. I'm suspicious of whether or not that company actually makes those models.MysteryMachine wrote:I love the photo of their Model 2. Looks like Federal's photo with their logo thrown on it
