Siren info needed

Need some info (schematics) on a "Southern Vehicle Products" model SA-450-80 siren. , made by Carson Manufacturing Comp., Indianapolis, IN.

One thing I'm trying to do is change the rise & fall time on the "WAIL" function; (this is for a prop for a marching band show, of all things!)

After that's all done, I want to just put it in as an air-horn, & maybe PA. Don't need no real live si-reen on my ride!! Just a lot of air-horn noise!!

If you don't have anything on this specific model, maybe something by the same manufacturer would be close enough.

Regards,
Chuk G.

I would call Carson and ask them. They do not list their Schematics online, due to patend infringement possibilities.

Actually, just after I typed my request, I decided to see if Carson, or whoever, is still around. Yup, they've changed hands etc., but I found manual for SA450-90; pretty darn close.

Yes all their manuals are online, and Carson has never changed hands. They were producing for other companies and now they only sell under their own name. I love their products and their customer service is top notch. I wish more companies were like them.
