ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

[murrfarms]

Have absolutely no clue on this one, Alachua, FL.
It appears it used to have a housing, looks very weird and different from a distance, Chopper looks similar to that of a Model 2, but a Model X would not have so much stuff on it. Am absolutely baffled. It also appears to possibly have a second chopper on top, cannot tell too well, but, I have to see what you all think on this one.

I'll make an effort to stop by there tomorrow on our way down to St Pete and take some photos of it since it's not even 5 minutes off of I-75. That should help to clear up any speculation as to what it is.

I got the chance on our way back from St Pete to stop by Alachua and take some photos of the siren in question, which I can now confirm is an old single phase 8-port Darley 3V8. Just as I suspected from the street view imagery of it, the siren has sadly long since been disconnected from the service drop that is attached to the pole, however everything associated with it is still intact and in fairly decent condition for its age.

Not sure if this is even a siren or not, but this is at the Undine FC in Bellefonte, PA which already has an SD-10. It's mounted on the roof at the front of the station inside of a rusted containment of sorts. My best guess is that if it is a siren, it would've been the predecessor to the SD-10.

It looks like a q siren in a custom housing

Most certainly is a Sterling Little Giant; the long oval-shaped badge is a giveaway.

I can guarantee you, being a vehicular warning equipment enthusiast, that is not a Q.

That is quite obviously, a Littlegiant. You can see oval area for the Sterling logo to go on the intake/stator.

This type of siren was mentioned by another enthusiast a while back, it's a Darley 3V8. There's an advertisement somewhere from Darley with this same type, and there are other existing 3V8's as well.

trying to find the location of a siren, I want to know what type this is

[Chem_Boffin_6589]

I'm guessing a Federal Eclipse 8 or an ASC T-121 or 112
