FS&S Thunderbolt 1000T Siren Test, Palos Park, IL, 1/2/2024

[@YourAverageMODude145]

Ah yes, continuous growl. This is what happens when you hook up an FC to a non-bypassed agastat on a RCM1. Nice video!

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Glad today went well for you! I got a super late test in Buffalo Grove today and the siren fired up literally as I turned off my camera and was about to leave. Still got a decent video tho!

[@CoolSirens1000T]

Awesome vid Ray!

[@trainsandsirensofilinmiwi2080]

Awesome! I used to check on this thing every year!

[@southeast_minnesota_sirens04]

Great video Ray! Sounds good.

[@BusMaster99]

Nice video! I hope we aren't on bad terms or anything.

[@thespiritstingray9359]

No? Why would we be?

[@BusMaster99]

@@thespiritstingray9359 Maybe I just overthought. Noticed one day we no longer had each other on discord and wondered if something happened.

Didn’t the rotator break on this a while back? Great video!!!

[@thespiritstingray9359]

This siren has had a whole plethora of issues in the past 10 or so years. In 2021, the head was swapped with a new one, and it took some time for them to figure out how to operate but it seems to operate consistently now

[@IllisconsinSirens]

Goofy ahh attack timing 😭😭😭

[@IllisconsinSirens]

Awesome!

[@kansasclocksandsirens]

It's got that West Bank timing lol BTW, It sounds like it's on level 3

[@ChicagoSirens]

I’m so confused. In the Palos Hills 1000T video, this siren sounded like crap, but here it sounds great…..there must be another hidden Thunderbolt.

[@thespiritstingray9359]

It's the same thunderbolt. The one in the palos hills video sounds awful since it's doing the fast growling signal. At a distance, I imagine it sounds horrible. I doubt there's a hidden thunderbolt anywhere to be honest

[@matthewwalker8197]

im suprised, even after the new head.. no one messed around with the attack timing lol

[@thespiritstingray9359]

It's braniff, they barely fix anything these days. Once they can justify that it's broken enough, we'll see a 2001 in its place by the end of the week

[@ianssirenproductions]

I was going to record this but I didn't want to take the gamble of it not working.

[@20v2t]

Looks like west Bank on pole

[@kansasclocksandsirens]

Looks nothing like West Bank. Sounds sort of like it though

[@thespiritstingray9359]

You're joking right?
