- This is a slightly different trip with some big news at the end. I visit the sirens of Lynwood, Gardenia, and San Pedro. This quickly became one of my favorite trips as I got to see so many interesting looking sirens.
I hear that back in the day. The few selection of cities that did get sirens installed had them installed on traffic light poles.
Great trip, Doug! I like the one attached to the water tower. Gonna miss you here in CA, my friend. Come back anytime!
most SD-10's have the band, but the early models have optional screens instead of bands, which increased the sound output
Regarding the sirens in Cencal: Fresno has quite the system of old SD-10s, and the Air National Guard base at KFAT also has a system of Federal Signal DSAs and Modulators if you are willing to check that out. They also have an old GCS Model 2 that’s inactive.
PS- Central California is a huge conglomerate of random sirens (some of which are actually pretty rare) that all the small towns have for some reason, lol
My hometown of Mendota has a Fedelcode I believe. It's still active I think. Back on the 8th of June I saw the SD-10 by Fresno Yosemite Airport, and the one on top of the Fresno Memorial Auditorium. Beautiful pieces of history, wish that they could be restored.
Awesome, I’m so glad that people still care about these old relics
So am I. There's a whole other system in Fresno, but they shut it off in 1977. In 1984 some teens decided to set it off as a prank.
Good news: Back on June 8th we went to an old siren in Fresno. I was in California for my vacation/grandmother's funeral and got the one near Fresno Yosemite airport. Federal Signal SD-10A/B, system was shut down in 1977.
California has so many sirens, unfortunately most don't work today.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer There's an RSH-10 in Los Banos, CA. It's 60 something miles from my hometown and it still works. Though it only does noon blasts. They used to have 2 FS Model 2s but 1 was removed, and the other is inactive.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer one of the federal SD 10 sirens were optional with the deflection band, and some of the other SD 10 sirens were optional without it 14:02
@@DayTrippingAdventurer one of the Federal Signal SD 10 sirens were optional with the deflection band the remember that video that you posted about the siren meet up Connor Cruz said that the federal SD 10 siren was optional with the deflection band for sleet or snow or any weathered thing that could go inside the chopper 10:07
it finally happened, after months you are back. and now we just have to wait for what you will see next.
Model 7’s range from 40’s to 80’s, the ones you showcased look like late 50’s to early 80’s models.
smby needa share this channel, you are so underrated
love the vids
Thank you.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer ofc
that first one has always weirded me out
I can't wait for this trip
They got rid of the tree that was covering the sd 10 in pico
Wow. Actually glad to hear that. So long as they did not remove the siren as well.
Come to Long Beach 👍🏻😁👍🏿🇨🇦🇵🇭🇺🇸
I would be really really scared to get this close to a siren this big:D I managet to get around 2 meters from a DS977 siren, way smaller then american sirens, but i was still scared at it is active:D
Did you manage to see the old Chrysler siren in Compton ca?
Alas I missed that one. Adding to long list of sirens I still need to visit. There are a lot of sirens in Los Angeles
@@DayTrippingAdventurerthat’s true hopefully you could see a scream master 6/8 port one
The early sd10’s had only chicken wire covering the stator rotor combo. Later sd10’s had sheet metal covers added around the stator to help deflect the sound to the upper and lower sheet metal projectors to supposedly help the sound carry further. I think it would sound better with just the chicken wire only but that’s just my opinion. Gonna miss your LA siren walks,sad that you’re moving. Best wishes!!!
