Last year, I dragged out my electric air raid siren. The guy across the street turned it on and blew a fuse in his house. This year I brought it out and took it down yesterday to Radio Shack for a geek to look at the same and get whatever components were necessary to make it ok. Understand, there is no tech, low tech and high tech. And, I am a no tech guy. Despite my warning, the geek insisted on turning it on inside Radio Shack.  He promptly blew the computers. So then, I went and talked to a competent old timer at Home Depot. He knew what to do and commented that he once had a manual air raid siren. So, here is the warning. If you awakend by air raid siren on the 4th of July, it isn't a real air raid.
