I have a mission for you.

Sign in to disble this ad
Anyone here have an idea where one might procure an old hand operated air-raid siren?

I know it seems like a strange thing to be searching for, but I have my reasons. I figured some of your firearms enthusiasts may have seen one from time to time.

much appreciated.

This is pretty cool actually, but I am looking for one of the BIG mammajammas. You know, the old civil service kind.

I wish. Sadly this is not a music related search.

Too late, I bought them. I'd be happy to make you a sweet deal on one though.

I have no clue where to find a traditional air raid siren, but if you do find one, you have a great responsibility:

You have to make a stop motion black and white film of robbers carrying sacks of $ sign bags out of a bank with the siren in the background.

I'll expect a copy in my p.m. mailbox
