Awesome! 😁 I'm sure I read somewhere that the Hurricane was based on the Thunderbolt and if that's the case then you can certainly see that a lot more with the square horn though even the round horn Hurricanes kinda sound like bolts crossed with p50s 👌
Yeah. Federal Signal (Or at the time known as Federal Sign and Signal) told ACA to redesign the Hurricane because it looked too close to the Thunderbolt. So they did, and the Hurricane MKII was born.
Knowing that ACA Hurricanes are already quite rare, seeing that you have a SQUARE HORN amazes me. ACA tried to compete with FS's Thunderbolt by making their own version of the Thunderbolt, they removed the square horn sometime during the Hurricane's production to avoid a potential lawsuit from FS. I would love to see a Hurricane (square horned) next to a Thunderbolt and have both of them go off.
@crazywarriorman I hereby confirm that you're running the siren on full voltage, and I still theorize that the capacitor may be the problem with the Hurricane winding up so slowly. The reason I confirmed that the Hurricane's running on full voltage is that the sound was pure ACA Hurricane alert on full voltage.
Vyclops The second generation of the hurricane (round horn) had “MK II” (Mark II) after the model number in order to identify the differences between the two variants. “Mark II” identifies that that the round horn hurricane is the second, revised design of the hurricane. Therefore you could technically call the square horned hurricane the MK I hurricane because it was the first design of the hurricane. So in conclusion the square horn is the Hurricane 130 MK I, and the round horn is the Hurricane 130 MK II.
Vyclops which is why I said you could technically call it the MK I. Hurricane. Because yes, there exist’s no documents from ACA calling it that. Also yes, it is a nickname, and for the record, this all stems from a comment I made 3 years ago. Not a book, not a history paper, a RUclips comment. Does it matter that much that I called it by a nickname rather than it’s factory model No.?
@kasm279 @Thewoog34 Due to the fact that the siren didn't have the capacitor hooked up, and was running on only half voltage, it didn't wind-down all the way. I assure you both I'll get this think hooked up and running in the summer. It should wind-down as long as Matt's.
@JerryMopar The Hurricane would need a hell of a lot more than a leaf blower. Even the 'bolt barely gets affected by one, and the Hurricane needs a lot more air than the 'bolt does.
I'm planning on buying the Herrin EOWS-408, I'll probably be the second known siren enthusiast from southern Illinois. If it's possible to own a square horn hurricane then I'll possibly get a 408
Garrett Sellers Grant you can check eBay, govdeals, public surplus or even thesirenboard.com for sirens being sold. Thunderbolts are very common so you'll have a good chance of getting one. If notice a old part of town has a brand new siren, chances are it probably replaced something. Get in contact with the proper officials and ask about it.
@crazywarriorman do you have the hurricanes blower working yet? i cant wait to hear some poor dude get his ears blown after they hear this with an operational blower!
I almost that that Hurricane came from Elk Grove, Illinois because there was another square horned Hurricane there before it was replaced by a P-50 in 1990.
Yes it is! It was completely redone with a 383 stroker, four barrel holley carb, 4.10s in the back and a completely restored interior. It was a cool car!
@@crazywarriorman imagine if there were some square horn hurricane's in Milwaukee, Garland, and Darien. Then the round horn would be rare. Nice find dude.
@TheNoisePolluter Haha too bad that's not my car. My truck was sitting right outside though. Plus there wasn't enough umph coming from the siren to do that.
In the beginning, ACA blowers were mounted on the ground. In an effort to save space, ACA decided to do a belt drive system. It worked out well for them, but maintenance was a bit more of a pain.
This was one was not the only squared horn Hurricane, there was another one in Elk Grove, Illinois but that was removed in 1990 and replaced by a P-50.

Hey dude that’s awesome I have never seen a MK-1 ACA hurricane 130 before awesome!
It's only 110 volt and only pulls about 11 amps. My house can definitely handle it.
Those are some Nice Ride's btw and Nice Sqaure Siren
Sounds great, happy 2012.
The Beautiful Square Horned Hurricane. It sounds as beautiful as it looks.
Either the chopper doesn't weigh much or there is something rubbing in there, the wind down was kinda short and the wind up took a while.
Wow you got a super rare siren That’s very epic
It's even more rare than the rounded horn MKII Hurricane
He sold this siren to Calvin Meyer several years ago
Wow you were right, it does sound good.
I can't believe it! A video of a Square Horned Hurricane sounding!
The Camaro is cool too.
We're any ears harmed in the making of this video? Ps. Can you make a video of the blower? I've never seen the inside of a Hurricane blower
HOLY CRAP, an actual working MK1 Hurricane!
man, the db rating must be high even without a air compressor!
What were the problem it had before you restored it up to this point?
Square horn gives the Thunderbolt vibes!

215 N Oak St, Centralia, IL 62801
Thanks
wait, that a frickin square horn. first recorded square horn model on RUclips. congrats
I like that siren if you applied 240v it would sound more like my federal signal 350 horn
Does Calvin Mayer have a RUclips channel?
How does it not blow a circuit breaker with the current being drawn?
It is just like a vacuum cleaner motor with more horsepower. Search ‘universal motors’ on wikipedia.
