The antique siren

I've already written about old Italian ambulance siren from 80s - 90s on previous topic and said there's gonna be another old siren but before I needed to renovate it.

This is an old Romanian military ambulance siren from 60s and not too loud like the Italian one but its sound is good and cool. It looks like any siren during the war when the Air Force attacks.

I took to pieces and removed the rust. Afterwards I polished the accessories and wanted to have them chromed. We were working on it for weeks because of polishing and chroming. When I wanted to piece together unfortunately the electric motor of siren didn't wanna work. I brought it to a mechanic and that man tried to fix it but it didn't really come off. I know that ain't my qualification or trade but I decided I try to fix it.
I was thinking and working for days and it came off. I fixed the rotating parts. I put special nut on screws. I renovated the old bearings and then it worked well again. I painted the air mixing rotor and used matt black paint coz black color is good for chromed stuff.
I glued the logo of "Authentic Handcraft" to rotor and it can rotate in the middle of rotor during the siren. I guess that's cool, what d'you think ?
