  • This is the October 6th, 2010 test of the Amberley Village Thunderbolt 1000T, located in French Park. Growl = 1:52; Alert = 4:22; Attack = 6:21. I thought that this would be a good siren to record because of the fact that it was located in a park and is one of the lower mounted sirens in the Cincinnati area.
    The siren and the house that it was attached to, are now gone. The replacement T-128 is down the street from this location on Section Road. It is near the intersection of Ridge Road and Section Road.

    We had one of these on the police station in Garden City Michigan where I grew up. It was mounted a few feet higher than the roof, and it was good and loud, with rich, full tones that made it easy to pick out over bad weather. They replaced it in the 90's with a couple digital jobs, and theyre way more quiet. In fact, they may have replaced them since (I think). It was a good, reliable siren.

    CONFUSION ELEMINATOR:
    The odd sound: This siren uses a 4/5 port chopper, while most others use a 5/6 port chopper.
    The fast spinning: The thunderbolt can rotate at 2, 4, or 8 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute,) and this one is set to 8.
    The long wind-down: There's a time delay (Agastat) in the RCM1 control box. This changes how long the rotator and blower (the supercharger) will wait before turning off when the chopper (the actual siren part) is turned off. Without this, the wind-down would not be able to be heard from far distances. The Agastat in this siren seems to be set for too long or broken.
    The odd attack timing: The attack signal is controlled by wooden cams that press buttons. If wanted, a custom timed weel could (probably) be made, and there's a small chance that this siren has a custom attack timing wheel.

    For a 1000 and 1000T, you can't tell the difference by looking at it. The 1000 has a higher pitch to it and a 1000T, like this one, has a lower pitch. On my Channel, there is a video of the St. Bernard 1000. The 1003 sounds the same as a 1000T, but it has solenoids attached to the top of the siren, looks likes eyes to me. The 1003 has the capability to do fire calls for volunteer fore departments.If you do a search for Thunderbolt 1003, on CZcams you will have a better idea what it looks like.

    Heard some other siren in the background, probably a 1000.

    What is a growl on a thunderbolt when they test it? That is a fast rotation.

    Do they still use this
    Do they still use this ? I lived in Copiague 1960 - 1971 we always knew when there was a fire or accident I think the accident sound was several short blasts or noon time. The fire dept.was all volunteers and this was in a time before beepers or cell service .Brings back a childhood memory

    not the 1000T's and 1000's but the 1003 has solenoids on each side but 1000T's, 1000's, and 1003's all make different noises
