Replacing my siren...........


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Oh.....Uh.....doesn't everyone have a siren on their old car???

 

Or perhaps an "Oogah" horn???

 

Bought a 6 volt siren a few years back at a swap meet.........have had a lot of fun with it, 

especially when driving in the Christmas parade.  I also have an old "oogah" horn

that I took apart a few months ago and cleaned things up.....now it makes the proper

sound and generally works better.  

 

My siren seems to have conked out and now fails to wail.

So when at the Wichita swap meet earlier this year, I ran onto another siren just

like my old one.  

Therefore, am getting ready to replace the first siren with a seemingly

better one.  Guess I won't mention my third extra horn......I just call it a "beep, beep"

horn.......from some older model car.:   After I get all these knick knacks working, I

need to fix the regular P15 trumpet horns. They need a new wire that runs down 

through the steering column.  

 

Tonight, I removed the trumpet horns to allow access to that darn siren which has a couple

nuts and bolts to get to.  Will do some cleaning and painting in the frontal area before

re-assembly.

I had the same one on my '40 before it was wrecked last year, I still can't believe we never got in trouble with it at college. Have you considered adding a wolf whistle to your armament?

I had a whistle (given to me by my son in law one Christmas) before the big tornado.  I still have some part

of that whistle, but need to find it and see what I have.  I think something is missing.

"you probably in the very limited minority on that subject.".............Tim, I'm sure you are correct.  Not everyone

likes those old knick knacks as I do.
