Update on the Silverstreet Thunderbolt 1003

[@BeaverStateOWS]

You are very lucky to get to work on such a gem. Glad this historical siren is being fixed up to like-new condition! Can't wait to see the end result!

[@JesusTilapia]

Good luck to everyone on restoring this gem. Hopefully its able to run like it did 1962!

[@HVACExplorations]

That's the plan!

[@TrainsAndSirens1]

Here's the new update of this siren (as of 7/30/24): The Silverstreet 1003 had went through refurbishment process, it was just finished. But unfortunately, this siren still hasn't been reinstalled and there is currently no estimated date for this siren to be reinstalled. It was originally anticipated to be reinstalled back spring 2024 Then it was pushed to summer 2024 and fell through.

How bout now

Any new updates?

​@@melvenycheck my channel I have a post of the siren itself

[@Vigilance108]

I don't think it has been reinstalled yet.

[@djifirealarms]

Awesome news! excited to see when it's reinstalled, it'll sound and look awesome for sure!

[@zachzebra56]

Good luck with restoring this bad boi! I can't wait to see how good it looks when it's reinstalled and functional again!

[@SirensandThunderbolts1003]

Nice explanation! I wondered what happened to it and what they were going to do with it. I can't wait to see an update/video of it once the project is complete or being worked on.

[@HVACExplorations]

I will be recording a whole documentary style video of me doing my half of the job. Looking forward to it!

[@TheWXRadioCollecter]

I’m excited to see what this beast looks like and sounds like when it’s finished!

[@polandball7482]

Yup but it’s going to be installed in 2024

[@MusicCitySirens]

Cant wait to see the outcome!

[@SouthCarolinaSirens]

We have a cool paint idea for it.

[@Vigilance108]

Any idea where the siren is or when it will be put back up?

[@kagome122885]

It's good to know that this siren will be up and running again! I remember hearing this siren in attack mode in one of the videos and it sounded scary from a distance. Thunderbolts are my favorite sirens

[@WisconsinTornadoSirens]

I'm glad to see you're trying to restore this old t-bolt. Hope it sounds good! I think Trainsandsirens1 said this siren will be back by winter of this year. So, i hope the restoration will successfully work out for this thunderbolt.

[@NepsterWX]

Hopefully in the future once its back up and running, I want to get a recording of Silverstreet.

[@BRISTOLFORCE2009]

Good luck Kyle

[@siren1003-thailand]

Happy new year 2024

[@guywhosomething]

Hows the progress?

[@saltyplayzyt]

I loved the jankiness of the sc 1003 I will miss it

[@willthetrill4849]

Hopefully the solenoids will be restored too

[@SouthCarolinaSirens]

New old stock ones will be put in.

[@Caysoncraft830]

will it still have chopper level 5? *I love chopper level 5*

[@Vigilance108]

Yes, but we don't know when it's going back up yet.

[@DeathWars]

Hey what is the update on that siren in 2024

[@Vigilance108]

The last update we got was back in July and it's been nearly 5 months since.

[@1000BT]

Any pics of the burnt out motor

[@MasenMonster]

Any updates on this? Been a few months since we last heard from this!

[@HVACExplorations]

There will be an update video on my siren channel relatively soon 🙌

[@Vigilance108]

Any updates on it as of November?

[@HVACExplorations]

It is slated to be up by the end of the month

[@Vigilance108]

That's a relief.

[@FireRescue80]

​@@Vigilance108supposedly I heard it had a red lightning bolt on it.

[@Vigilance108]

Let me guess, it still hasn't been put back up?

[@cooldomino1800]

Where did you ordered the decals?

[@TrainsAndSirens1]

He had them made from his local graphic/signs store.

[@SophalRus-p5w]

Would you paint it to it’s original color from 1962

[@atsf47legit]

Any updates? It's kinda past 'Spring of 2024', just checking.

[@TrainsAndSirens1]

[@Vigilance108]

@TrainsAndSirens1 It is almost December and I am wondering what is happening with the siren being reinstalled.

[@guywhosomething]

Oh my goodness, i must ask for a moment, how the heck did you get this deafening but appreciative treasure? Hopefully it'll be back to peak chopper level 5!

[@SouthCarolinaSirens]

I went and got it and brought it to him to repaint it.

[@guywhosomething]

@@SouthCarolinaSirens gee, thanks for telling me, hopeful to see this siren one day all the way from Brazil, and best of luck to you guys' repair & refurbishment project!

[@guywhosomething]

​@@SouthCarolinaSirens the current progress?

[@Nocturnal39]

Finally, it's the end of the crooked screen! Edit: I QUADRUPLE-DOG DARE you to put a 4/5 in the 1003 and then send it back to SS

[@BeaverStateOWS]

Never gonna happen

[@BRISTOLFORCE2009]

@@BeaverStateOWScould I just ask why? Is it because silverstreet wants it to have the same chopper or Kyle just doesn’t feel like giving away a 4/5 chopper

[@BeaverStateOWS]

@BRISTOLFORCE2009 it wouldn't make sense to first of all. And all he has is the parts to it. Not the chopper or electronics i believe.

[@GSPiedmont425]

@@BRISTOLFORCE2009The idea was brought up and the consensus is that it would be better left alone as a 5/6.

[@guywhosomething]

I don't even want 4/5 really

[@lorwinad1]

What happened to the Silver Street thunderbolt did it get replaced?

[@North_Jersey_Sirens]

She’s a crusty one, hopefully this thing will sparkle like new once you are done with it

[@Whydoimustcare_]

Why is the chopper motor dead?

I see English is not your strong suit. “About regards of the Silverstreet 1003…”

Had a feeling I would get that

welcome to the south jared

[@ThisHandleIsNotTaken.]

How heavy are they?

[@HVACExplorations]

Head weighs roughly 300 pounds assembled

[@Diegomelsave]

Replaing a motor charges the sound so silverstreet is not gonna be the same

[@saltyplayzyt]

Ahh shit

[@rebeccaanton5735]

is it a 1003A OR B

[@kansasclocksandsirens]

A

[@centralillinoissirens.]

A means 3 phase B means single phase. So this is a 1003A

[@tothabelvendel]

Wait. You own the silverstreet siren?

[@SouthCarolinaSirens]

He doesnt. Hes just repainting it.
