Automobile burglar alarm siren
Very funny.Automobile burglar alarm siren
Oh. Sorry paul. So about how old would it be? Over the phone it doesn't sound much different than my 28. Thanks for your help Paul and Jon.Paul's not being funny. I agree with him. That looks like one of the old 12 volt mechanical burglar alarm sirens that used to be for sale in the JC Whitney catalogs.

The siren was made by Universal Security Instruments. It was sold as part of a kit that included a key-operated on/off switch and four door jamb switches. As others have already stated, the kit was sold by many retailers including Pep Boys and Western Auto, but it was J.C. Whitney that sold the most. This one is from the late 60's to early 70's. Later versions had the bell horn integrally die cast with the stator. The whole kit was less than $40.00 and the siren could be purchased separately (minus the relay) for $23.00.
It's amazing how many of these things show up on eBay listed as "Old Fire Truck Siren"'!
That's true. You and Kevin can't teach all the idiots in the world, just keep trying to teach the id....er....smart folks here!..."YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID."
