Federal sign and signal siren v style

[Ron A.]

I have a federal sign and signal siren with the v grill but no data tag ,Is there any way to find out the correct information for the reproduction tag so i can put the correct information on it, such as 6 or 12 volt , amps , model number , serial number. Thanks For any help with this. Ron

I have an NOS in the box 6 Volt version by Federal Sign and Signal, it is 6volts DC Model O Serial 1L12 G2. The G2 denotes that is has a painted finish. The Chromed ones have a different suffix which I do not have the information on.

When I got my siren the data plate was toast, so I reprinted it.
It turned out OK in the end.
Below is the original data plate and what I drew up to make the stencil.
Other photos show the completed item. The numbers you asked about are on one of the photos.

I have had several...none were chrome, all were the alloy finish....

The tag on the one I have has:
"6 DC O 1L12D7"

Are there any markings stamped on the inside that would tell if i have a 6 or 12 volt , and what is the diffrence between a O model and VG model ? Thanks for information so far guys. Ron

Possibly an Auto Electrician can do some tests to see if it's a 6V or 12V siren.

Outwardly, the Model "0" and the VG look similar.

As you're missing a data plate, Ed may have some left

I have a tag on order with Ed ,I dont know if he has any of the buttons for the sirens or if any body else sells them. Is there a certain model that was used on the military vehicles. ThanksRon

Can anyone tell me what would be a good oil to use on the siren shaft ? And where can one find the cloth cover wire . Thanks Ron
