@@brandonbutchart5576 yep and it would've been taken down but the VA hospital decided to claim it and now they take care of it. The EMA just activates it now, nothing else.
The first time when I went to Topeka KS I saw the siren its rotor was sick it was sad I had nothing to do so I left by any chance until 2 min it happened I heard it from VA hospital it made a beautiful sound I was happy for 3 weeks I had to go back to Ireland it was fun when I stayed I had a great time well that's all I could say anyways bye-
Yeah the modulators are cool, but nothing beats the sound and distance of these classic sirens. I still glance at the thunderbolt in Topeka city and wish I could see it operate once more.
Wisconsin Sirens lol i live in topeka, i live about a block from it and I assure you, i hear this thing every monday. Topeka still has a few thunderbolts standing as well, and a few STL 10s which are inactive.
These are fantastic sirens other then the poor design where the entire siren needs to be taken apart to fix the rotor. I believe it was you who said they're as loud as a Thunderbolt?
I did a little snooping on google maps and, I came up with a theory.. Since Topeka had a total of four 500s, and replaced all but the one on the VA hospital, could that mean that the three in abilene KS could have been purchased from topekas old system? If you go to abilene on maps and go back in time, they actually had all sentrys instead of where the 500ATs are in 2008. (right before Topeka had replaced it's old system.) Just a thought but there is a very good chance it could be true. EDIT, sorry I thought there were only four 500s that had been in Topeka's system. Didn't look at your description before posting!
The rotator SHTT itself
Is it still standing?
yes
Memerino1041 is this the last remaining old siren in Topeka?

VA hospital to Topeka:parry this you f***ing casual
just for anyone who doesn't know, this 500 spins once again! it was repaired by goddard enterprises on 1/27/23.
Any proofs about that?
That wind up was straight up angelic.

i play music for the VA in my school's band class. This year i finally spotted the siren, it was cool
This and the 3t22 are very cool sirens
My favorite FS siren!
If you look at the bright side, at least the horn was facing mostly towards you during the duration of the test.
It's replaced now. RIP.
It’s been “replaced” ever since their new system went in. This siren is still on the roof of the hospital and still goes off weekly.
I'll tag you in the post on Insta, August said he went there and it wasnt on the roof.

Yep, it was right about as loud as a Thunderbolt if not maybe a tad more.
I found the video of that siren ambience in Rising heat.

Wait what? I thought all Abilene had was the 7T on the courthouse and only one 10/12 500
so the fs 2001 and the t-135 had a baby.
this was the result.
No this is their grandpa
10/12 port
A thunderbolt in a SHTT housing!

Cant find the video of this doing attack
Yeah, Dylan made his videos either unlisted or private for some reason... I really miss those videos...
Poor guy
bird box: can't see
a quiet place: can't speak

Sounds like Rising heat siren

No, this and I believe a 2T22 at a beach nearby are the only two from the old system that are still active.
