Hello, I was looking around on YouTube and found this promotional video from ACA produced in 1980. I thought the video was interesting and was worth sharing.

Yup, it was me and SuperBanshee. We both got the DVD's from Jim himself. SuperBanshee uploaded the first video while I uploaded the second one.

Funny, this P50 that is mislabeled being located in Amarillo looks exactly like the prototype in the video, same mounting platform.

Does anybody happen to know where this P-50 is? I want to try and find this siren.

After doing research I don't know if anyone knows other than Hurbert Tate who took the photo. I found an old thread regarding this siren and people from the Amarillo area said that they don't have any P-50's and believe that the siren is located somewhere else possibly in Northern Texas.

Here is the Link to the old thread : https://www.thesirenboard.com/forums/vi ... hp?t=18728

Even if it was a siren in Amarillo that wasn't discovered, it has been likely replaced. A lot of their old system is still there, but 508's are slowly replacing it iirc :/

Hate to senselessly bump, but does anyone have a link to the thread for the original post on the video?
