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.

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.

thank you very much for your help
I had wires for the speaker without the brown cable and the speaker went up in smoke
luckily I have a spare coil
if you can still ask for a photo of the microphone inside, which color is soldered where, because my microphone is cut off and I will use a replacement one
best regards and thank you
