Bought my switch at radio shack. Just a regular momentary switch. Save
your money.

Thanks guys for the information and advice. As Rick discovered, RivRad has
a floor siren switch and a hand push button siren switch. Don't remember
seeing anything like that before.
My siren's data plate says:
WGW Ser 4L51
Volts 25 Amps 8
U.S.
Federal Sign and Signal Corp
Blue Island, Ill.
Contract No. DSA700-69-C-2387
Thanks again.
Steve
