Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Failure

[@Stormsetter4]

This siren was supposed to be deactivated in the early 2000's, but it's still running on the old siratrol, surprisingly

[@TheSleepyMechanic0524]

Stormsetter4 single or dual toned?

[@ShowMeSirens130]

Carlos Aponte I believe it's single tone.

[@Stormsetter4]

Single, it's a bar grille

[@childishtombino1275]

It being a Jail Bar does not mean that it is single tone.This one is single tone as you say but you do get dual tone jailbars.

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

Mr.Someone \Tom/ jailbars stopped being produced before the dual toned chopper came out for the thunderbolt. Therefore there are no original dual toned jailbar thunderbolts

[@crowblunt536]

2:05 the other sirens ambiance did the most blood cuddling yet beautiful sound, and especially when the other siren's pitch changes it's JUST perfection!

[@beratlolz]

It's siren heaven

[@childishtombino1275]

Yeah the chopper motor just wasn't working at all. It's funny, the blower makes the chopper sound like it's moving just slightly because of the pulsey sound. A1 blowers rule!

[@willthetrill4849]

I hope that siren wasn’t scrapped and went to a collector

[@zachsafarik5218]

Will Butter I never knew where it went to for awhile now but I think Blue Valley Public Safety has it in their lot along with several other Thunderbolts, some being stripped for parts. I highly doubt they would use this siren for parts as it is pretty worn down being a near first generation Thunderbolt.

[@dumdum7786]

I hope they repaired it and its back in service.

[@zachsafarik5218]

MOM ITS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE It unfortunately is never going to be back in service. It is currently still sitting in retirement at Blue Valley Public Safety’s siren lot in Grain Valley.

[@MasenMonster]

@@zachsafarik5218 The next time I go to Grain Valley, I will stop by and see if I can get this AWESOME siren.

[@ozzykrahn806]

i wont be surprised if it did get scraped

[@techandgameswithaboy5324]

The tune of the blower is very creepy in my opinion

[@jetstream454]

Don't think it's that siren making a sound

[@Pyroscity]

@@jetstream454yea it’s the blower the thing that makes it loud

[@jetstream454]

@@Pyroscity I hear no blower

@@jetstream454 you know how when you’re blow into a fan it makes noise that’s the same principle with this siren

[@1000BT]

2:05 the chopper tries to start up

[@JoeBee9]

Damn! Rotator works perfectly but the other motor that produces the sound is almost completely dead.

[@aidancrawford6048]

The chopper Motor probably has gone bad

[@BellyLover06]

I dub it the "Silent Wail".

[@SirenArchives]

2:05. Blower activates 3:57. Air rushing out of chopper?

[@TheChachLINY]

Tempest 128 I think that’s the 6M Blower Sound...

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

If it had bad brushes it would be loud but have really bad pitch flucuations.

[@jisso_fantasticfantasticalt]

I see you everywhere I the siren vids

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

@@jisso_fantasticfantasticalt yeah back in the day I used to comment a lot. I don’t as much now, and when I do it’s through my siren channel now

[@averyrocks026]

2:07 was that the thunderbolt? Or the ambience

[@beratlolz]

it's the other sirens

[@darrentrailer3878]

There’s another Thunderbolt at the power plant

[@FM60260]

According to Google Maps, this building has a Whelen WS series now.

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

It’s actually a Federal Signal DSA

[@FM60260]

@@Elizabeth-ts4om Oh, they look quite similar.

[@YoooitsSCARS]

whats the exact street name of this thing

[@747jack]

Town

[@tornadof25]

Some really great siren ambiance at least!

[@BradyMockros-m3g]

As far as I know, this 1000T has been running for years but in the video, it’s actually not the blower itself, but it’s actually a temporary replacement motor that was used for the test run of the 1000T, now it’s got the new blower and it’s been running fine since then. Go back to check it’s new blower sound

[@BradyMockros-m3g]

The reason I said this is because the Thunderbolt sirens commonly have to get their blowers replaced, which takes a lot of time, sometimes more than 2 months before the new blowers are installed. Because of this, the Thunderbolt sirens get temporary blowers that are designed for a 1000T model, so basically you actually heard the temporary blower sounding, but this one was a vintage 1978 P47568-3BF0 blower model that was discontinued in early 2005.

[@MasenMonster]

OMG THE PLACE WHERE ITS AT NOW IS IN MISSOURI WHERE I LIVE! I HAVE TO GO THERE!

[@1000BT]

It's spinning right round like a record but not making any sound

[@grimatronicpl7163]

because the chopper is switched of but the a1 blower is still running and its like this since 2000

[@MasenMonster]

@@grimatronicpl7163 Actually no, it says in the video that it ran during the 2001 video.

[@grimatronicpl7163]

@@MasenMonster read description of this video its not this siren

[@1000BT]

At 2:05 the chopper can be heard but stops hard and what appears to be smoke comes out

[@MasenMonster]

@@1000BT Probably dead motor

[@superkh12]

That sounds really ominous.

[@BradyMockros-m3g]

So you did hear that blower having issues, probably because of it being an oil-fired engine. It was most likely low on fuel and/or was leaking out oil from its engine which was not seen in the video. Hopefully the Thunderbolt 1000T siren is operating well with the motor it has now. 😊

[@alexmcface]

Plot twist: every other siren heard is coming from the bolt

[@djmario2381]

Sirens in the video are 2001 SRBN and Modulator. Thunderbolt too.

[@zachsafarik5218]

Dj Mario That’s correct! I just recently discovered that the Thunderbolt 1000T heard in this video is not the one on the power plant. I found a Thunderbolt mounted on a cell tower located in Sugar Creek about 3-4 miles from my position in this video.

[@SkyGameZZZZ]

That thunderbolt has a stuck chopper

[@adamssirenadventures6574]

Boy that's a failed Thunderbolt 1000

[@ShowMeSirens130]

This siren was deactivated in 1999, but it was still running from its old siratrol. This siren has been replaced with a DSA after like 18 years since It was deactivated. And Its a jailbar Thunderbolt 1000 by the way.

[@adamssirenadventures6574]

I see. I for got about 1000.

[@ShowMeSirens130]

Rainbowlevelcrossing Yes.

[@garyhisgun4996]

ShowMeSirens130 The city should take it down if it does this and put a 2001-130 there

[@Kaylynn_23]

Scilence, and rotation -Thunderbolt 1000t

[@eows6128]

The blower was off so it wasn’t loud. Also the chopper was off too wich means it will sound like a EOWS siren

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

YTFOR LIFE BRO no the blower was running

[@dumdum7786]

Either a burnt up chopper motor, or bad brushes on the collector rings.
