I have the 5130. Bought from a member of this forum. Usual faceplate crack, Original mic in goodshape. Had Kent Fitzgerald from Retro Tech tune it up. It works great. I bought the 5130 manual from Heath from their archives for $18.00.

There was a WD-5130 from the Zenith/Heath kit era. The 5130 was a factory built unit. Equipped with wail and yelp. Identical looking to the GD18. Right down to the cracked plastic front panel.

Wow...Were these units tube or transistor?

I believe I still have the MS3000 manual if that's what you need. I recall getting the manual from FS and it's pretty basic.

Positive (+) Another excellent resto job this time on a Zenith/Heathkit WD siren by MtMn!

HI Kent, hope all is well. Just checking in how my heath kit siren repairs are going. Thanks! Bill

HI Kent, I have a Heathkit WD5130 siren with the yelp sound's like a power call and the pitch pot is not working right. I know your bench get''s full, so please let me know when you have some time and I will send it to you. Thanks. Bill

Sorry, I do not.

HI, My experience with Kent has been very good . Kent has repaired for me a FS PA15,. PA150, PA200 and his latest repair for me on a Unitrol Touchmaster D. Kent apparently works several jobs in addition to siren repair. My advise is to be patient. He does good work is usually has a bench...

Hi Kent , Wondering if you repair Heathkit sirens. I have a Heath /Zenith WD-5130. The yelp settings sounds like a GE Power call and the pitch adjustment is not working. I have a copy of the manual with schematic if you need. Thanks, Bill

Thanks for the reply and pics. I have seen several types of knobs on other Heathkits (including an old HK catalog from 1976).

Trying to locate a photo or source of the original knobs used on the above sirens. Thank you! Bill

Thanks for reply. Looks like it's heading to Kents Siren repair shop.

I was given a Unitrol TMD siren in great shape. Pulled from a Vol chiefs car working except for the PA feature apparently. Siren and Horn modes work. I have tried 2 mics (MNCT- SB) both were used no luck. When selector is set to PA, pushing the ptt button makes 1 relay close/open but no...

Purchased a used fedsig MS3000 mini siren, smooth tranaction, packed well, quick delivery, siren works very well, no issues, will buy again from EVP4207.

ACE Hardware in my town carries the same selector knob in their hardware racks used on the PA series sirens. I bought 2 and tried on my PA15 and PA150 and fit nicely on the switch. They had a different version of the GAIN knob (no pointer). The SELECTOR knob costs $3.50 each. Bill

Purchased PA15 1D siren from Kent that he reconditioned.....works perfect, also Kent repaired my PA150. Pleased with the results.

I use a 500 ohm 5 watt wirewound resistor in line on one of the wires to the speaker. I have used it to check older Federal Signal PA's, Heathkit and a Unitrol Touchmaster Delta siren with no problems. The thread two posts up should give you what you need to know.

He is apparently very busy. I have conducted business with Dale before. Keep trying....... Bill

Purchased bracket from DCAPTAIN. All set.

Back in 1981, I became an assistant fire chief of my small volunteer department. We could not afford big light bars at the time. I purchased a used Whelan Responder II 2-rotator mini bar from a local distributor. My car at the time was a 1978 VW Rabbitt. I was not quite happy with the...

Unfortunately, your bracket is too wide-I rechecked the cover dims and 5-1/4" ID is what I need. However, thank you for your response! Bill

From the Federal PA20A manual: 2-3/4" (H) x 5-1/4" (W) x 7-1/4 (D)

Looking for a mounting bracket in clean condition for my restored PA20A. Please PM me if you have one to sell. Thanks!

Installed repro plate. Plate made by a company that makes awards and plaques. Cost was $25 each. Also available in aluminum at a higher cost. I am not selling. If interested, PM me for details. Should be able to make for PA150's also.

Update on face plates........top plate is off a PA200. Bottom plate is a reproduction made of laser -etched plastic

Hi Kent-sent you a PM to your email on a siren repair. Thanks!

Nice setup in your Bricklin Kerry. I don't own a PA15 yet but I am looking for a clean, working unit for my federal siren collection. I have 2, pa200 sirens and hoping to find a replacement faceplate. I tried a pa300 plate but the switch hole placement is different. I was able to remove the...

i appreciate any info you can find on these! Thank you!

There was a member selling PA200 plates a year ago.....orion61243. He has not been on this site for about a year and has not responded to repeated emails. Thanks!
