Nothing more awesome than seeing a video of an FS&S 3T22 with the GE motor. I never knew it was installed at the police station in 1963. Very nice one!
Besides the obvious different design of the motor, whats the real difference between the GE motor and the marathon motor? and what year were they made for them.
Gonna be honest, I have no idea. The GE motors however tend to make XT22’s a little bit higher pitched than usual. GE Motors I’m sure were used on these well before Marathon motors, so I’d say the 50’s is when the GE’s were mainly used on these.
@@coolweathervids1849The GE motors on the 2T22/3T22 sirens were made from sometime in 1954-1955 until the early 1960's, probably why this one is higher in pitch than usual. I think most GE versions do that, I'm not sure. Sometime in the mid-1960's, the GE motors were phased out in favor of the Marathon motors on the 2T22/3T22's. I hope what I put out helps you in any way, but then again I'm not always sure.
Wow. Nice higher pitched love it. Just like 2 of these in my county

Great video! I’ve always been a fan of Frederick’s 3T22.
Sounds great!
Idk why but I thought this never had a close-up recording of it.
Sounds like Carter Air Raid Siren
GE motor?
Yes this one has a GE motor.
Yes, it does. It's an early 1960's one with the GE motor.

@@brodiessirenproductions Id agree, although i saw a grounded 2t22B that had a GE motor from 1984 🤷♂

I wanna hear the fire it would have the weird hi lo
It would definitely sound weird since the bottom damper is stuck half shut
@@brodiessirenproductions it would probably unstuck it
