In breeds and their useless activities

Now that is what I call a beautiful siren restoration. That FEDELCODE model 7 is a pure bulletproof siren. Well done with the restoration, this video will continue to impress future generations.

Thank you for your service.

Merry Christmas to yall

Thank you for capturing this moment. I actually remembered when this happened

Hi

Even more FFC CRS archive broadcasts, nicee.

Probably stolen..

stolen.

Which song in the background?

M7

That doesn't sound right, Model 5s don't have wind down hiccups. But it's because of the capacitors

Activated with a light switch

That Model 7 sure sounds healthy...but it sounds like it I single phase and being activated via a push button.

i tried my best to get a good video of the parade had some lighting issues with the street lights i hope yall enjoy the video

That's actually a WWII-era Fedelcode made by Federal Electric (now Federal Signal)

IS YOUR CAP LOCKS KEY STUCK? NEAT SIREN BY THE WAY!

Attack Video #3 coming? or not

@murrfarms Here's that video, where you can see the bracket and motor pretty good: watch?v=N6OioeHEsQU Notice the big square box on the top of the motor, that's what houses the capacitors for it.

@douro20 No it's actually not, it used to have a three-phase high slip 7.5hp motor on it, but it burned up and sat dead on the pole for about 10 years before the guys down there got a hold of it and started restoring it to put back up. They retrofitted a Baldor 7.5hp capacitor start/run motor on it with a special bracket to hold the motor (the tan part that mounts to the pole), and had the shaft extended to fit the rotor. I think there's a video on Kenny's channel here of it without the housing.

@murrfarms It's single-phase, repulsion-start. The brushes drag it down a little.

One of these days I'll probably get the siren on our water tower and restore it. It's a 12-port Model 5.

NO THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY FIRE DRILL MEETING WE WILL DO THIS WE HAVE PLANS TO BLOW IT @ 12NOON EVERYDAY & BLOW IT FOR FIRES

Sounds really good Kenny, came out not only lookin good but sounding good too!

Do you test this for every Fire Drill/Meeting

Damn, that thing sounds like a hybrid of a single phase Sentry and a Model 5 with that fast wind down and all lol. Awesome catch Kenny, sucks I missed out on that one!

@Petemonster62 it its going to be used for both ATTACK MODE for Fire Alert for Tornado Warnings we have plans also to do a short blast every day @ noon it used to be the town fire whistle to summon firefighters before we have radios i think it was in the late 50s early 60s

YAY

Hot damn that worked out beautifully! Can't wait to hear this thing run full power to see how quick it reaches peak pitch

cool

@stormsirens2 I DONT KNOW I WILL FIND OUT I KNOW THE MOTOR IS A BALDOR

Don't know if this was the same storm....but the same storm system put Laurens County under a Tornado Warning.

You can use a drill to speed up the chopper blade.

I am going to stick one of these in my attic as an alarm. Let it be known! lol

Hot damn. Can't wait to see her fully restored.

Nope, it's a 1940s/50s Fedelcode 5 with a brand new single phase capacitor start/run motor.

Man that thing looks GOOD! The bearings sound great in it too
