The P-50 is still here and it is laying on the ground. Location: San Angelo KOA Holiday up on the hill. Installed in 1986 Siren: ACA P-50 Port Ratio: 8/12 San Angelo, TX Siren Map -www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?...
I went to see this today (August 15, 2021). It's still on the ground. I'm pretty sure they just cut the pole and let it fall down because it sustained some damage. The cut on the pole is too clean and too far down for it to have been blown over. There is also a large defunct beehive in the rotator (bees were there in 2019). One cannot truly understand the enormity of these until you see one up close. It was neat to see it.
Wish I could buy this huge fella after a sweet refurbished morning, sadly tho I don't live in the US ;-; I'm surprised enough the system box seemed still fine.
These things are not exactly light. They are the heaviest electric sirens ever produced. I don't even think it's going to be moving anywhere anytime soon
I have seen this siren in person and it is impressively huge! I don't know why I felt sorry for it just laying there. Maybe there's hope for it to be restored and put up again for city use. They are very helpful.
A once mighty guardian capable of blowing your eardrums out, weathered and neglected for years only to be cut down and forgotten. I would love to restore it if I had the place for it.
As of 2024 the siren is now gone, all that remains is the wooden pole that is chopped up and one piece of the p50 under it. The current location of the siren is unknown
If a storm knocked it over the pole would have been cut higher near the siren, and the reason why the siren is still there is because they probably realized it was too heavy to haul away.
Alot of States They replace siren's And leave the old one laying next to the new one And They Just Have it sitting there. The Excuse Is "the Government does not have the time to do that". I believe thats whats happening in this video.
They are huge, from my eyes, it's quite huge up on the pole, I live like 5 miles away from one and still hear it, P-50s are also almost the god of loudness only just tailing the Chrysler.
@@fordmustangsvtcobrar-hk5xi Yeah, probably. I wish he got the inside of the rotator, I still have no idea what the insides of an ACA P-50 look like. Not the rotator, the chopper and motor housing insides, nothing. I know the actual siren itself wasn't open, but the rotator had a massive hole in it.
