My "new" Sterling Type "F" Factory Siren
Posted: Tue May 09, 2023 2:08 pm
Here's my latest addition to my growing collection of Sterling Siren memorabilia. Snagged this on ebay for a decent $126, since I was able to get at an auction before any bids were made and put an offer in.
As far as I can tell, this thing is absolutely roached, and I'm not brave enough to apply power to it just in case it turns into a candle and kills me in the process.
Already midway through restoring it, as I sandblasted half its components the day I got it.
I would also like to mention that this thing is VERY heavy for its size, weighing in at nearly 18 pounds. It is the second heaviest siren in my collection, with the Model M48 obviously being the first.
