Deer park's sister
2:08:41 for the P-50 reaction
Undulation
Noice 👍
Thanks!
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 No problem!
Wow idk what the fire truck was for
Same
we love the strange and ominous background humming coming from VFI621 (i have been emailing environment canada about this for several months)

Hi
I wish I could go I’ve been wanting to go forever but the place is literally so far (14 hours away)
1:33:09 sounds like that SD-10 is set for 240 and getting 480.
That's what Christan told me (owns the SuperBanshee)
Is the 500SHTT from Lombard?
It is!
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 Good to see that thing restored to its natural beauty.
I may not be a real siren enthusiast, but i’m not so sure if it’s recommended to drill run your sirens
Didn’t except for a German siren to be here.
I would immagine that thar generator needs to be hi current 3 phase for the 3 phone motors in most of the mechanical sirens. What about the electronic sirens what voltage and current do they take is it AC or DC?
The generator puts out both 240 and 480 three phase. The electronic sirens are dc
@@seanjuth How many volts DC are the electronic sirens? Most of the mechanical sirens are 240v or 480v three phase I assume.
@@mattdaddy_888 24volts
Is the BNCO Directo BN52 gas powered like the chrysler victory siren?
Yes, it is.
Yes
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 by one of the most coveted industrial engines out there the Wisconsin company V4 flathead. People seem to swear by those engines, too bad there aren't any really made anymore. They would beat out Briggs and Stratton. Oh well, there are units from Kubota, Honda, Kohler etc. to go by still.
You should get your hands on a chrysler victory siren!
That's extremely hard to come by. when one is available is like predicting where lightning will strike... Not to mention that it's big and heavy so not the kind of siren that I would want.
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 yes well there is actually a map out there that shows the location of all the chrysler victory sirens still mounted on top of buildings and such I don't know how accurate it is but I know there is a ton in Florida and in and around the New York area as well as California. You can have it on a small trailer.
@mattdaddy_888 still, it is a lot of work and especially money to get one down if still up.
I gotta visit Sirencon someday.
fr
@@GalacticProductions_FFS.
I gotta bring my Model A
Kronenwetter's RM-130! This was recently replaced by an ASC T-128 because the RM-130 was struck by lightning. I have some old pictures of that RM-130 when it was still in service.
I love the dual tone Hilo signal on the whelen wps 3000s
1:03 hawaii siren
They used to have those.
Wow beautyfhol hi-lo sound
Very nice sirencon.
Sure was!
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 Yeah. Maybe next year over the next SirenCon if they would mind if they could bring the rusty 4/5 Thunderbolt 1000T again and bring whatever 2001-SRN siren or 130 siren to let the guys to make a tribute of Minneapolis old system what it sounds like and let them do a count of 62 seconds Alert and with 5 Attacks like a real Minneapolis old system just like they did Cincinnati Old Systems.
1:33:10 small motor
?
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 u said it had issues
@WV_SIREN_PRODUCTIONS yes. I think someone told me it was a 240v motor being run on 480v not sure though. It has original motor I believe.
Lets go bro
Model 2 from Canada 🍁
Yep!
Winds up like a model 5.
Yeah it does, it is on 480 Volts so it'll wind up quickly compared to 208-240 Volts.
Daniel recorded this r 0:34
I saw that.
I have the same exact scanner
I don't have it anymore, lol. I upgraded.
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 lol
Is the paint on the stand original?
No, it had an older yellow paint on it before.
15:45 thats actually a hornet not a vortex
It WAS a hornet, but it was replaced with a vortex. There was a Screamer, then the Screamer was replaced with a hornet, and the hornet was replaced with a vortex.
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 oh I remember that the hornet was lent for tesomas until they got a replacement, I guess they did haha
4/20/24 is a palindrome date!
Was that Whelen use to be surrounded by those bars?
Bars?
As far as I know, if you hear the Sarnia, sirens, get away, or stake shelter, there is possibly a dangerous chemical leak.
The higher pitch whoop sounds like a an ESC-864 digital. Like my vortex!
I thought that other one was unusually higher pitch than this one!
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 it’s probably a 2800 running on a digital ESC-864.
Sounds high pitch, is that a GE motor on it
No
Nice broadcast cycle! You should do more!
I actually live in Kitchener and I'm a radio collector, i have this same station on my radios.
Nice! I'm glad to see another enthusiast in the area!
Thanks for capturing this. I wish the Thunderbolt could've been heard in my ambiance background video but I'm gonna take the assumption that due to the high winds, it probably blew the soundwaves away from where I set my camera and didn't capture it on film. I also remember passing by those large looking power line support structures to set up my camera.
I am hoping soon to return to get a new/recent recording.
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 I wonder if it'll be possible to maybe have the camera like closer to the Sentry 10V but not too far away from the Thunderbolt.
This is the best sounding 1003 i have ever heard ❤
Indeed!
Minor correction for the description, it's a C2 1/2. My favourite version!
Thanks and corrected it. Shes an oldie from '63!
I did know their was a Model 5B?!
Yep, they have one.
try and get access to the railyard to film the 612. note: Calgary AB 612 is on a SiraTone.
1. I have no idea when it's tested and 2. I am too far away to visit that one.
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 hi here's a cookie🍪
Is the top part of the rotor missing?
Yes while trying to remove the chopper to clean it, it came off. It was later screwed on.
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 Ah, I have one coming in the mail today and I was wondering if it was supposed to look like that or not
@Gvacs it isn't supposed to look like that. When trying to get the chopper off, I put too much force on the tip part, and it came off.
Thats undulating hi lo
Yes, it is.
hi. here is my prince edward siren map. (if you find locations just give me cordinites in the replies. www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?hl=en&mid=12ZUCghwpa05DgLzna0ZeptiiYFzzMJM&ll=46.482484315191265%2C-62.818510955850385&z=9 go ahead and add this to your website.
