Thunderbolt 1000 Alert/Attack Test 3

This siren can be seen from E Margaret St. and Ruth St. N. in Saint Paul, Minnesota U. S. A.

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.

[@PGMEagle]

To be honest I think this is the best sounding T-Bolt I have ever heard. Great video.

[@JPa311979]

@murrfarms Yes, I agree and these old Thunderbolt 1000s have a more rich and impressive sound to them then 2001 sirens.

[@United_HVAC_and_Fans]

Absolutely amazing sound! Awesome that it did 3 mins of both signals.

[@melodicskatepunk1286]

This thunderbolt has The old style hicup

[@Glist_]

The hiccup has nothing to do with the age of the siren

[@ThunderboltOverkill]

holy crap that pulse

[@ThunderboltOverkill]

funny sounding attack haha

[@amtrak3501]

wow, that hiccup was crazy. 1000 still sounds awesome. sweet video!

[@AlfredoMejia-v5i]

Power: goes out That one girl in class:

[@carexpertandy]

Great video! I love seeing Tbolts on top of old schools!

[@dualactionsurgilator]

What a powerful sound. Gotta love the T-bolts.

[@atiandfssirensofsc97]

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.

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

[@promod400exridr]

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...

[@JPa311979]

@murrfarms Does the air force from the blower tend to weigh down on the bearings of the chopper motor?

[@garyhstorms10]

I hope Minneapolis MN changes to three minute Alert Attack Tests soon that would be great

[@Worces2000]

I heard the one I believe from the Fairgrounds after filming the siren in Roseville at Cleveland Ave and County B2

[@mikeperdomo2108]

Hey Jpa311979 When I Was At That Adress That Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000 Is Not There In Street View In 2014

[@AmityOhCramity98]

It was removed in 2012 when St. Paul replaced the entire system with FS 2001-130s.

[@JPa311979]

@ironike11 I heard that they changed it to longer tests.

[@JPa311979]

@P50fan1 It sure didn't sound underpowered in person. Thanks.

[@joek0617]

i heard something like their being donated to communities that can't afford to get new ones

[@JPa311979]

@carexpertandy Whenever I see an old school, I look for a roof mounted Tbolt!

[@mohkfry]

Awesome video. The siren could use a little maintenance though.

[@joek0617]

yep. like the one on top of horticulture at the state fair

[@benforsberg7417]

You should keep us up dated. This one also has been removed.

[@rarleyposting5546]

[@AmityOhCramity98]

@@Whyyoutubewhy.. Actually this year marks 10 since removal

[@d00mhound]

[@lilaj34siren]

listen to a real thunderbolt go to manchester georgia thunderbolt and watch that video thats the one i used to live by

[@lilaj34siren]

the thunderbolt i live by has a much deeper growl than this one ours has a deep voice lol

[@murrfarms]

@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.

[@United_HVAC_and_Fans]

You @ed yourself lol

[@JPa311979]

I was told that it was removed.

[@JPa311979]
