- UODATE 3-7-12: This thunderbolt is offline. It will no longer activate.This siren will be replaced shortly.This 1000 is located at the Woodlawn Village Hall/police dept. shot on January 5th, 2011. This siren is due to be replaced, although its unknown when Hamilton County will be able to upgrade their siren system. This siren is also mounted really low, probably about 20 ft off the ground if that. Enjoy!
Man that thing is seriously old, definitely a Series A1 with the big-ass blower. Sounds absolutely awesome, I love that odd gurgley undertone that the A1 blowers give them!
@bohrokthunder it sure is, makes it look antique. ripped screen, chipped paint. just glad it sounded healthy.
like if yall miss this A1 1000
amtrak3501 least she’s still there! Albeit silenced.
Still there again.
I'm really considering talking about owning this one
Still there
@@TheSleepyMechanic0524 They would most likely let you have it since this one isn’t part of the system anymore. After all it is just sitting there.
@Beauty4Aspies For old sirens such as Thunderbolts, they are AC powered, so its not even possible to put battery backup on them
Fun Fact: The 1000 At the Woodlawn PD there’s a 1-128 Few Blocks away from Woodlawn’s PD
@bohrokthunder it probably wont happen since Hamilton county wants all sirens to have battery backup. this thunderbolt may or may not get a second life. its all up to Werden. i like the name "ol rusty", btw.
@Beauty4Aspies well im sure they could, but since most of their sirens are getting on in their years, im sure they figured upgrade their system as well (im willing to bet they would last many more years as well) pretty soon, they will have T-128's and I Forces
WOOPS, that say we will NOT fix it and they WILL replace it. there isnt any other siren that covers that part, and the other closest siren is a thunderbolt 1000T that fails every month. other than that, no other units, exept a 2001-SRNB thats 3 miles away, that you cant hear.
@truemetalist89 i was told that its possible that the rotator is broken because it was facing south for a few months so hopefully it works fine for you. get the growl too if you can
@bohrokthunder true, but too bad it'll get replaced sometime this year.
@bohrokthunder me too, man. at least the guy who takes down these sirens down refurbishes them. when i visited his place, he had a thunderbolt freshly repainted and ready to go. where its going, i dont know.
The siren is still there in 2023 surviving pretty well
@Beauty4Aspies i know, but Hamilton county wants battery backup sirens, and whatever siren lacks that feature, its gonna be gone :( lot of classic sirens down there.
Do you know that there is a reply button? Just click to other people's comment to reply
@nickrusche i saw that, that video is awesome too! also as low as this one is.
@LouisvilleTorn8o il keep that in mind. may be a while though.
theres a siren that my city abandoned a few years back, a TB 1000, and its tilting, nowdays, when theres a storm, it sweays back and forth and moves and turns. its pretty scary. called it in and they said "we will now fix it, and we are replacing it." nice video BTW
@LouisvilleTorn8o you still got them thunderbolts with the lightning bolt painted on them? or am i thinking of a different city
@Siren1000T1 thanks. i was waiting for some kind of screwy attack mode.
@trainz675 thanks for the comment, they shouldnt abandon a siren when they dont have a replacement for that particular siren's coverage
@Beauty4Aspies yes it does, such a shame it will be gone soon
@amtrak3501 They could instead give the classic sirens battery back up instead, couldn't they?
@cheetawolf yeah, it is. kinda reminds me of the Oak Park, MI thunderbolt
+TrainsAndSirens1 well if you think about it, on a QWERTY keyboard you have O next to P so it was obviously a slight finger slip
my first video with a 1,000 views. thanks for watching everybody
@MrSciencetificsasuke its just the way the video looks.
@amtrak3501 Oh I know it, I definitely had to double-take when I saw it, just to be sure I wasn't seeing things! Glad you were able to get it on video, was hoping somebody would someday!
@murrfarms i do too. and just shocked me on how low this siren is mounted.
@cheetawolf sure will miss it when Hamilton county decides to upgrade their system.
@Oldiesmann Ah sweet, I'll have to go check that out! I actually saw this one while in Cincy not too terribly long ago, which totally caught me off-guard. I knew about it, but I wasn't expecting it to be where we drove by, nor was I expecting it to be THAT low.
Siren is still there
Couldnt tell ya, been a while since I've been to this location.
I am surprised the Attack signal timing is set correctly on this one. Nice vid.
I see what you mean about low mounted! lol. The flag pole is higher that the siren!
@amtrak3501 if you ever get down here, and you need help deciding which one to record, please just let me know. There are a lot of good ones to choose from. The best location to get a video is probably at the Water Company, where they have both a 1003 and a Whelen 4004, which are both used, and they are sometimes tested together. The PRP VFD #1 TBolt, now on chopper level 3, is probably the creepiest sounding one in the whole system.
Hey Amtrak3501, if you ever get down here to Louisville, Kentucky, we still have a bunch of Thunderbolts left. We have one 1003 that I know of, many 1000T's, and one 1000 that I know of. We also have some xT22's, Mods, 2001's, and some privately owned Whelens. Ours are tested on the second Tuesday of every month.
It sounds a bit healthy.
Thunderbolt 1000
Great Video! I filmed the French Park Thunderbolt 1000T in October. That has quite a bit of rust on it, but it still sounds good.
Perfect sound
Sound like a T-128.
Great video! Good to see it still works fine!
damn looks like shes seen better days and has been through alot
@amtrak3501 They shouldn't waste their money on a new siren, it's better 2 just maintain this 1.
Woah there. Why is there a poopy siren right there?
I love single tone 1000s
@carexpertandy Oh well.
Awesome video! Wow that one is old. Love the A series blower!
@madlibscoke92, I agree!!! Probaly even better than the one today!
@truemetalist89 you should aim for a siren that isnt on CZcams yet, if you need a siren location, you can always ask carexpertandy. he knows where all the good sirens are at in Hamilton county. but if you want to film this siren anyway, you can do that too
Man, this one is crusty. But it still sounds great!
How in the world Is this still rotating!?
Damn that's an older 1000
Hho Hh how old do you think it is?
they started making these in the early 50s
ZOOMBER DINGER
daaaannnnngggg!
It uses an A1 blower so yeah 1950s
Did you miss spell update. Update has a P not a O! Poor Tbolt :(
How is even part of the screen still on the siren
What was The Replacement ?
T-128
@amtrak3501 1,000 views on the TB 1000 :D
What is the growl for what alert
