Saw a post on the "Vintage Police Everything" Facebook page and Joe has dinged folks who commented on his crimes. Here's the original post

BEWARE of doing business with Joe aka Joey Dorgan of www.sirenman.com/ He is a liar and an unethical business person. I paid him in November of 2014, $1,600 for restoration for several beacons/sirens and to this day I have yet to receive the last item that he has professed for over 2 years now is ready and "i promise i will ship tomorrow" has never come.
LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR....HE HAS HAD FULL PAYMENT FOR SERVICES RENDERED SINCE 2014.....THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PREVIOUS 1.5 YEARS HE HAD MY BEACONS/LIGHTS BEFORE THEY WERE SUPPOSEDLY READY........
Not being a hard ass, i have been more than patient, listened to his sad sob stories about life etc...........BUT JOE/JOEY DORGAN is a plain liar.........and i'm not sure how you restore beacons by sending them back with the same old wires dangling from them?

How is B&M Sirens on restorations?

If it's a B&M siren, no question--send to them in CA. They have all the correct parts and tools, and Kevin at B&M IS top notch--excellent communications! A few months and less than $350 got my 1957 S8 restored by the craftsmen in their shop! I surprised him by asking for pics during the resto--no one had asked that before. Here are the before, during and after shots:



Kevin was able to tell me by the serial number when and where it was shipped...a local shop that has long since gone out of business, but nice to know it was shipped originally to my area.

I'm pretty sure Kevin at B&M repairs/restores other makes of sirens as well. Regardless, he is a wealth of knowledge.
