Whelen WS-295-MP made in 1986 with Tri-Tone!

Picked this up recently on auction. Has a US Government property tag and had a US Forest Service receipt in it, so possibly came from them. Came with it's original "ship date" tag showing it shipped January 1986. Thanks to Kent (@MtnMan) in getting me the wire pinout. LOVE the sound of the Tri-Tone. Photos and video below.

Great sounding siren, but I never heard a tri-tone before (musical note, yes. Siren, no).

Here's a European tri tone in use

Ambulance siren sound for the Netherlands.

The Federal Signal PA200E had this option when a few jumpers was cut.

I still think the Tri-Tone sounds like the ice cream truck is coming around the corner ,
nuttybuddy or orange pushup anyone ?

Had one of those on a Type II ambulance made by Tri Star from Nova Scotia. Was a big change for Ontario when they switched from Code 3 LP's and PA300's to Whelen Edge bars and this siren. Didn't last long. We used the Tri Tone just to annoy management.

The tri tone sounds better than the yelp.
