"It worked in 1992 before the firefighters took it off the pole and threw it in the woods behind the fire department." Btw that part in the controller you couldn't identify looks almost exactly like a telephone relay.
2:35 that’s because it’s a universal motor that can run on AC or DC. The frequency dose not matter. If you took it to the UK that has 50hz, it will work just as well. My model 2 has that too.
Voltage, a model 2-240 reaches full pitch at 240V 12 amps (dryer plug power) while a 2-120 reaches full pitch at 120V 24 amps, or the same as regular outlet power, however most outlets like in a bedroom are only 15Amp so using a 2-120 in your room would pop the breaker. I think 2-240s can be run at half speed on 120V without pulling too many amps for a wall outlet due to something with the wiring.
Ignore this comment. All but one siren in my possession came from eBay, and they’re all excellent. Sure some are better than others (I’m looking at you, 1923 A), but I wouldn’t call any a lemon. There’s a lot of mystery and rarity out there!

The sirens on eBay are not as expensive as I thought they would be. I’ve seen a belt-driven Federal Signal 2001-130 going for $3,500.00.
I scored a working model 2 for 350 recently

cooldomino that’s nice, if I ever get one with that motor I will have to remember that
@@TexasRailfan2008 All model 2's came with universal motors (same as the thunderbolt choppers, excluding the rotator and blower motor obviously).
MARVEL MYSTERY OIL was designed to unseize aircraft carbs, and I've seen it used to unseize entire engines. When in doubt try it out.
That clear box in the control cabinet is most likely a ring relay, I didn't see anything in there to indicate that it was radio controlled.
And looks like you got it now! Cool! Are you gonna restore it?
Nice! also, since this is a 240v one you could actually switch it out with your thunderbolt if you wanted to since the armature on this 2T is 240v.
Will you please one day do a side by side comparison of the model 5 and the model 2?
I made a federal signal 2001 and it works and spins!
Looks shit
Shroud looks in good condition but that chopper and stator is crippled! I wonder what happened to the poor thing
You bought another model 2?
awesome video
I tried to see one on eBay they didn’t have any on eBay
My browski is struggling at the start of the video 😢😅😭 he like 2 2 2 2 20- 220v ! I hope you feel better man It sucks making a video when sick!
5/6 or 4/5 port?
Huh but i thought u already have the model 2
2T. He has another 2T and a 2. I wonder if this'll be a parts unit.
What's the difference between a model 2-240 and a model 2-120?
Sorry if you get asked this to much.

Yes. The dual-tone version stopped production in the 80s.
