I used to live in Kansas and went through Topeka and Abilene all the time. Don’t remember this siren, but I remember a 500-AT on the highway entrance by the bowling alley and Sonic.
next day 500 SHTT: OH NO where am i ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh i got removed NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO im in a siren graveyard welp at least a can freaking sleep till i die
Mondays at noon, weather permitting. I hadn't heard that the downtown Thunderbolt is operational. I know the horn moves from time to time but I assumed it was the wind.
Huh... I guess these things aren't as big of duds as I thought. Still makes me wonder how they didn't sell well, especially the 10/12 units. Looks like ACA really had a lead out on them, or the Thunderbolt was more appealing...
Nathan Fox I know right? Like clearly the EMA won't ship this siren all the way to me for free unless I can pay them a crap ton of money. I was joking when I wrote that comment but unfortunately there are some little 10-year-olds out there that would not have been joking
The sight of this one alone gives me chills.
Oh SHTT, it broke.
Lol
Oh man
LMAO
Whoo
How loud was this one compared to the 12 port one you filmed? Shame the rotator doesn't work anymore.

Went and seen it yesterday. From about 300 ft away that thing still shook my insides..
could you get any videos?
This is the second operational Federal 500AT the other one is on top of the VA Hospital
This one *_is_* the one on top of the VA Hospital...
Swaying in the wind just like the earlier ones do in LA.
Federal signal 500 SHITT

If you watch the recordings of this siren by jayhawk29 this siren was rotating just fine but that was in like 2009 to 2012.
Yes, I wonder when it broke.
It was in 2008, czcams.com/video/vp7jT1CjBpw/video.html
Sounds like a 2T22/3T22 siren
3T22 has shutters while the 2T22 doesn't.
@@cheesecurl2000 shutter to stutter
*2T22/3T22 intensifies*

Hahaha good one, this one isn’t going anywhere.
Sounds kinda like a 2t22 or 3t22 to me.
Oh yeah
When do they test? I want to see if the rumor about the Thunderbolt in downtown being operational is true.

jayhawk29 Thanks, and I found out that all 3 Bolts are inactive.
Why does this even have a "+" shape in the middle?
what is up with the broken rotators on these Fedeal Signal 500's geez
The belts are finally giving out and no one bothers to replace them.
The hospital stretched out the rotator belt, thus no rotation.
This is on top of the va hospital isn’t it
Single horn two tone
Yup
They Should Rename This to The 500 SHIT
I think the rotor is broken now
The rotator must be broken
2003: you stole my parts 500SHTT...
*1003
1003 and 2003?!
OR A 3T22
Uh-oh, the rotator needs repaired!
Looks like the gear reducer finally gave out.
It's the middle rotator belt, the one that's a bitch to change.
Is it that, or the gear reducer that breaks all the time on these things?
the belt, after 40+ years it stretches out. piss poor maintenance
Huh... I guess these things aren't as big of duds as I thought. Still makes me wonder how they didn't sell well, especially the 10/12 units. Looks like ACA really had a lead out on them, or the Thunderbolt was more appealing...
See how it tries to move back and forth? That's the belt. If it was the gear reducer it wouldn't move at all.
Well I kind of moves when the is very strong
SOUNDS LIKE ALLERTOR
the name looks like shit but this siren certainly isnt. lel
Looks like shtt to me
@@dianemckimmy5701 if you make a quick glance, sometimes it kinda looks like the word "SHIT" because the first "T" looks like an i at first glance.
@@nascarsimracing1 seriously, at first glance you call it a *"shtt"*
#shtt
Holy #shtt
Rotator problems as always
