Secomak CS6 siren

Cold War era Secomak CS6 siren. Fully stripped down to bare metal and rebuilt with new paint, bolts etc.
It is being run from a VFD inverter.
Feel free to ask any question.

Awesome! Glad you made a video on it! Now we know there’s another one of these in existence!

[@SirenRecordingsofIowa]

Wait, if you buy a high tone version then connect it to the motor with a dual motor then you'll have a CS8 😮

[@alarmmuseum]

@@SirenRecordingsofIowa There was no high toned version unfortunately.

How to scare you grandpa

[@al66class59]

How did you go about restoring this? I've got a GP6 that needs a bit of cosmetic work (and some 3phase power, but that's another matter), and with this being the only restored GP6-derived siren that I've seen I feel it might be worth asking you!

[@bikermoore]

Basically stripped it down, sand blasted everything, painted everything, replaced most of the bolts/fixings with new, put it all back togeather and pumped 3 phases into it.

[@al66class59]

Thanks for the info; I'll probably look at getting the shot-blasting and paint done professionally as it's a bit beyond my capabilities. Powering it up, I can work on that myself at least!

What causes the odd sounds during the wind down?

[@Four-r8slol]

the shutter is jammed closed

FYI The Secomak CS6 is an incredibly rare siren. There are 3 known to be in existence, with yours being the third discovered.

No. Unfortunately it's on private ground, and you won't be able to see it

Seems that the CS6 is suffering from a shutter issue
