Hello, Thanks for posting this video of my siren. I am the Lake County Telecommunications Sr. Radio Technician responsible for maintaining this one along with the 49 others in the West side of Lake County. I already put in a call to have the back/top ordered so I can get a bucket truck and replace it since it cannot be found. I walked the entire area and could not find it. I guess some scrapper took it to the scrap yard and got a quarter for it.

Electric speaker sirens don’t have the wind up and down that these sirens do. In my opinion that is what makes them awesome!

I always wondered how it got air, but now I know that's the air vents underneath the chopper.

I litterally searched what a 2001 looks like without the cover and this vid popped up I’m not disappointed in the slightest

That is pretty neat to see its guts inside. Its incredible how fast the chopper gets up to speed in an instant. You can see the cylinder that appears to be from the original Thunderbolt design in which they re used on the 2001.

@@sirensofneohio3979 That's unique! I don't think any 2001 model or unit ever had their back panels off and the back showing before, it took me long enough to find the inner workings of Thunderbolts with the different blowers and with our without Solenoids. But I've searched KZread including channels of users who own them and couldn't find any videos of them taking one apart that needed maintenence for how newer and modern the 2001s are compared to the Thunderbolts from the mid 1900s. There's people who've taken apart Whelens on this darn platform! But I've never seen the back workings of any 2001 unit. That's what makes this video a great catch overall! Because of how rare it is to find videos like this.

Has a replacement back panel been found for this siren and if not why not go with a higher decibel 2001-130 which comes already sealed at all ends and I thought all generations of 2001s came with factory sealed motors so stuff like this does not happen although it is very cool to see the inner workings of a 2001 in action during a test you don't get to see that often

I mean they are the successors of the thunderbolt

I always thought the 2001 had an interesting design with the chopper drawing air through the back box with its motor housed within the "nose". That has to be a real stiff box side to be able to cantilever a chopper, stator, and motor from it! From another video of a privately-owned 2001, the chopper looks very similar to that of my Model 5. Does anyone know if the chopper is the same size? Without the cover I'd think the rotator guts would be swimming all the time! LOL
