The Allertor 125 is a rotating siren produced by Alerting Communicators of America. The Allertor is one of it's kind as it intakes air through the bottom horn, and blows it out the top horn, which had never been an engineering design up until that point.

Rarities

The siren came in 8/12, 9/12, and 10/12. The 8/12 and 10/12 versions are rare. The siren also came in a 8 port model, which is extremely rare.

History

The Allertor first became a very strange idea brought upa around 1945, ACA and many other civil defense companies were struggling to find reliable ways of allerting the public after WWII, as Russia had many threats to bomb and raid the United States. Around 19060, the first prototype of an Allertor was produced. Early models were made of metal. In 1968, the Allertor was changed to the Allertor 125 when it's material was changed to fiberglass. Sadly, this change made the price very much increase, but none the less the siren was extremely popular. The Allertor lasted until 1980, where the P-10 would soon overcome the problems that the Allertor had, and would replace it.
