Around 19060, the first prototype of an Allertor was produced. Early models were made of metal. In 1968, the Allertor was changed to the Allertor 125 when it's material was changed to fiberglass. Sadly, this change made the price very much increase, but none the less the siren was extremely popular. The Allertor lasted until 1980, where the P-10 would soon overcome the problems that the Allertor had, and would replace it.
