We had one of these on the police station in Garden City Michigan where I grew up. It was mounted a few feet higher than the roof, and it was good and loud, with rich, full tones that made it easy to pick out over bad weather. They replaced it in the 90's with a couple digital jobs, and theyre way more quiet. In fact, they may have replaced them since (I think). It was a good, reliable siren.

8 RPM

This was an older one. Can tell by the shorter rotator box. And it has a 6M blower

CONFUSION ELEMINATOR: The odd sound: This siren uses a 4/5 port chopper, while most others use a 5/6 port chopper. The fast spinning: The thunderbolt can rotate at 2, 4, or 8 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute,) and this one is set to 8. The long wind-down: There's a time delay (Agastat) in the RCM1 control box. This changes how long the rotator and blower (the supercharger) will wait before turning off when the chopper (the actual siren part) is turned off. Without this, the wind-down would not be able to be heard from far distances. The Agastat in this siren seems to be set for too long or broken. The odd attack timing: The attack signal is controlled by wooden cams that press buttons. If wanted, a custom timed weel could (probably) be made, and there's a small chance that this siren has a custom attack timing wheel.

Man, that thing spins fast.

There are not many of these left in service now. Alot have been replaced or sitting not functional. One here in Wisconsin was in service since 1954 and was just replaced this year!

The things swinging around everywhere! I guess you can say it's being a Rusty Crab!!

That growl is straight out dope.

the siren rotates fast and if your listen closely the blower has a little mess-up at the end of the growl

sounds slightly sick or maybe its on a lower chopper setting like 4 or 3 but it sounds quieter than most.

cant tell which siren is lower, this one or the one i just filmed. cant stop watching this video, so cool

It kind of sounds like an old hot rod sputtering when it winds down all the way.

Do they still use this Do they still use this ? I lived in Copiague 1960 - 1971 we always knew when there was a fire or accident I think the accident sound was several short blasts or noon time.

These were the best sirens. I’m curious as to why the Federal Signal corporation chose not to replicate the ominous original tone in the current FS2001’s. Today’s sirens are not as loud, nor do they convey the sense of urgency the sirens of the past did. Today, they sound like fire trucks.

W202fan probably not. Each municipality is responsible for its own siren removal. Most are just going to sit and rust.

This siren has 3 motors running it. Other types of sirens only have 1 or 2 motors.

For a 1000 and 1000T, you can't tell the difference by looking at it. The 1000 has a higher pitch to it and a 1000T, like this one, has a lower pitch. On my Channel, there is a video of the St. Bernard 1000. The 1003 sounds the same as a 1000T, but it has solenoids attached to the top of the siren, looks likes eyes to me. The 1003 has the capability to do fire calls for volunteer fore departments.If you do a search for Thunderbolt 1003, on KZread you will have a better idea what it looks like.

There is a 3 step pulley on the motor, as well as the gear reducer. The pulley on the motor has the largest groove in front, medium in the middle, and smallest in the back, while the other pulley is the other way around. This means having the belt in the front (big groove spinning small groove) will give you 8 RPM, putting it in the middle will give you 4 RPM, and the back will give you 2 RPM.
