I like how on a lot of St Paul's roof-mounted Thunderbolts, they used two huge pieces of angle iron instead of guy wires to brace it. Bet that thing isn't going anywhere anytime soon with that hefty stuff holding it up! Great video, love the sound of these old Series A1 1000s, the big blower definitely gives em character.
this siren has 4 port and the chopper level is terminal 5. the siren on my profile picture has 5 port and a 6M blower and chopper level 5. normal as a 5/6 or a 4/5 port 1000T, or a 4/5 or 5/6 port 1003.
From what I've heard, St. Paul is replacing all of the old sirens with 2001s. Sooner or later, the 2001 virus will take over and these old relics will be gone. Hopefully they don't scrap them. I talked to St. Paul's EM and he said they don't know what they're doing with the old sirens...
@murrfarms And DAMN what a hiccup! I mean that thing doesn't gently jump down, it skips an entire step! Sounds like this old girl's in need of a new set of bearings.

@murrfarms Yes, I agree and these old Thunderbolt 1000s have a more rich and impressive sound to them then 2001 sirens.
To be honest I think this is the best sounding T-Bolt I have ever heard. Great video.
Absolutely amazing sound! Awesome that it did 3 mins of both signals.
wow, that hiccup was crazy. 1000 still sounds awesome. sweet video!
holy crap that pulse
funny sounding attack haha
This thunderbolt has The old style hicup
The hiccup has nothing to do with the age of the siren
Power: goes out
That one girl in class:
Great video! I love seeing Tbolts on top of old schools!
@murrfarms Does the air force from the blower tend to weigh down on the bearings of the chopper motor?
Ramsey County now with the programming of the new Commander Software into thier Siren System activates them in Attack then Alert for 1 Minute Each
What a powerful sound. Gotta love the T-bolts.
@ironike11 I heard that they changed it to longer tests.

@carexpertandy Whenever I see an old school, I look for a roof mounted Tbolt!
I heard the one I believe from the Fairgrounds after filming the siren in Roseville at Cleveland Ave and County B2
@P50fan1 It sure didn't sound underpowered in person. Thanks.
I hope Minneapolis MN changes to three minute Alert Attack Tests soon that would be great
i heard something like their being donated to communities that can't afford to get new ones

You @ed yourself lol
Awesome video. The siren could use a little maintenance though.
Hey Jpa311979 When I Was At That Adress That Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000 Is Not There In Street View In 2014
