This old thing came with my first bike at a yard sale in 2001 (or right around there). The bike is still around...rusting away in my junkyard. A 20in. Spectra (short lived division of Murray from the 80s-early 90s) Mtn. Madness. But I've always kept this old bicycle siren, dated 1993. It broke once long ago and my dad fixed it. Then it was dropped and that was that. It sat on the hardware chest in the garage at the old house for years, and it got covered in dust, dirt, and cob webs. When we moved, it was put in a box of stuff for me to repair when I got around to them and now I had no choice. My desk in the basement had so much stuff on it, it had to go. So here I am finally rebuilding this old thing. I plan to use it for a custom someday...if I ever get the chance. What is this custom? I don't dare say for fear of people copying my idea. :mrgreen:

Here we are! Completed a few weeks ago.

What a mess of wires I had to deal with!

Replacing wires, one button, repairing another button, resoldering, oh joy.
