Let me start off by saying I have not tested any of these sirens. The 200s use an odd rectangular connector that reminds me of the quick disconnect on my Smith & Wesson lightbar, and the 300s use a modular Molex-style connector, neither of which I have. So these are being sold as-is, for parts/repair/restoration.

I have four PA200s, two of which have a dimmer knob while the other two do not.

This one was apparently used in Vinton Rescue 24, as indicated by the markings on the top. It also has an odd microphone connection contraption. It's the only PA200 that has a microphone.

***SOLD*** No info on this one, but it came from the same place (Roanoke County, VA) as the one above as well as all the rest. ***SOLD***

Here's the two with the dimmer knob. While they have serial numbers that appear to have come from different years, they both have "IF 2500" written in what appears to be blue crayon on the bottom of their chassis. Might be a FS test thing. Completely different microphone connector on these PA200s compared to those above.

On this first one the knob split in half right in my fingers when I gave it a turn. I believe its an easy fix, just gluing it back together. The case has some remnants of glue and wood stuck to the top... not real sure how it was mounted.

***SOLD*** Not much to point out about this one. Some red marker on the right end of the top label. ***SOLD***

Next up are the PA300s. Both are missing knobs, both have paddle switches. The first one is much older, and seems to be missing the connector housing on the back. There's something rattling around inside, and I'm guessing it's part of the missing connector, but I haven't bothered to open it up. The terminals all appear to be present. Weirdly, the microphone strain relief is upside-down on this siren - I'm wondering if it was modified for a specific installation/mounting position.

Finally there's the later PA300. Nothing remarkable about it, really, other than it has option "MSC". And I don't have a clue as to what that is.

Again, I am not cleaning or testing these. I have no idea if they work or not. You're buying these for parts or repair or restoration or decoration.

Price is $40 each plus shipping. If you buy 4 or more I will knock five dollars off the price of each siren, otherwise, the price is firm.
 
9/26 update: The PA300 with the broken connector on the back is SOLD.

I still have the remaining two PA200s and one PA300 available, however.
