AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Industrial Vintage Electromechanical Siren - MINI CELERE - ELECTRA Rosta (TO) - 220V DC - AC - 1970s
Description:
Splendid MINI CELERE electromechanical siren manufactured by ELECTRA - Rosta (TO), historic Italian brand Sirena S.p.A.
Iconic model from the 70s/80s, designed for industrial applications, danger signaling and alarm. The device consists of an electric motor connected to an internal turbine that generates a long, high-pitched, penetrating sound, like a whistle — impossible not to notice.
This is the compact model of the CELERE family, the most collectible. It has also been used on cars/jeeps/ambulances and rescue vehicles with the appropriate power transformer.
Technical details from the original nameplate:
• Brand: ELECTRA - Rosta (TO) • Model: Sirena MINI CELERE • Power supply: 220V DC - AC (Direct Current and Alternating Current - thus compatible with both) • Operation: Electric motor + internal turbine • Sound: Continuous, linear tone - Frequency ~ 1600 Hz • Sound power: ~ 97 dB at 1 meter (data of the current model, identical) • Materials: Metal housing, black polycarbonate dome, upper diffuser in chrome metal with visible red internal louvers • Mounting: Circular flange with 3 holes + rear L-bracket (present)
Conditions:
Used vintage conditions, 100% original and unrestored, as shown in the photo.
• Original red ELECTRA label still present, minimal signs of aging on the edges • Body with slight signs of wear, minor surface oxidation on the chromed part, consistent with age • Wiring with two original blue wires • Electrically tested and functional - sold as a collectible item. The motor spins freely.
An authentic piece of Italian industrial archaeology Made in Italy, perfect for collectors, for a vintage workshop, for restoration or as an industrial design object.
Provenance: Private collection, Italy.
I guarantee careful packaging and shipping with traceability in rapid times.
