Restored Fyr Fyter Penetrator 12PT50

[MtnMan]

One of the rarest sirens I've worked on. A client salvaged this siren, which had been on his dad's retired engine, and sent it to me for repair. The original cable connecting the control was cut off, and there was no documentation to be found, so it took extensive circuit tracing to get it connected correctly. Fortunately, the internals were in very good condition and required only minor repair to get it working and sounding like new.

Thanks for sharing! Sounds very cool.

Excellent job! I love the wind down! I had an early Dominator that had a similar sound--trying to accurately portray an electromechanical siren.

Sounds a bit like the Federal PA15/PA20 wail but longer. I love the sound of those low pitched electronic sirens from the 1960s.

Sounds fantastic, great job. Wish we could have those around here instead of the annoying eq2b's haha

That wind down is a bit abrupt at the end. You might want to check one of the bearings.

A NOS Fyr-Fyter Pilot (rebadged Federal Vitalite) Mate to your siren. I haven't seen many lights and sirens under this brand.

I checked all of them!

That is incredible! My GE is on it's way to you and hopefully is just as easy for you to get up and running!
