Back in New Zealand

First day back in New Zealand and what do I do? Buy an ancient air raid siren, perhaps more correctly called a civil defence siren. It took three people to lift it onto the back of the truck. The casing is solid brass, once it's cleaned up it should look pretty good. Don't know what it sounds like yet, it needs a bit of work. It will be very loud though!

Just hook it up to your radio alarm-clock, bro! It won't matter how deep a sleeper you are.
