Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Non-Petro Discussions Non-petro Discussion and Showcase Vintage Federal Model Q2B Fire Siren

Is anyone fimiliar with these? A buddy of mine is on a local Vol. Fire Dept. They were cleaning out a closet and found one in great shape(I'm getting pictures tonight). I see on eBay they are bringing between $500-$700. Is anyone versed on these enough to know why some are bringing more? I want to be generous in my offer to the VFD, as they do a great job protecting the community, but I don't want to lose money either. I offered selling it for them and not charging a commission, they don't want to wait, and said "we'd rather see you make money."

Any help, suggestions, comments are greatly appreciated!

I wasn't familiar with the siren and for those here like me that are not.... Here is a demonstration of a Q2B...
