this is cool! The fact you know how to fix them is an awesome skill to have! These videos are also super satisfying.
Yay. More Maintenance videos. I just subscribed.
Thanks!
Yayyy!! It's finally here!!!!
Oh, thank God! I might be getting one of these, I will be following this when I have it! Great video!
Nice video as always! :)
Interesting
The chopper motor is similar to a thunderbolts
@@leosouthibounnorath984 it’s pretty much the same parts.
Hey CoolDomino, I was wondering if I can use some of your videos for a siren compilation I’m making.
Thanks for asking but I rather say no. What’s it about?
@@cooldomino1800 it’s a part 2 of this: czcams.com/video/wRzOqi3QI14/video.html
Where can you get new bearings?
eBay. I don’t remember the part number tho.
I'll look at the part number once my model 2 arrives. Should be here in a week or 2
The bearing part number is 6202-2RS
For both the top and bottom
I can’t really get to the stator the screws are really rusted and I’m wondering if I could contact you for help about that, also what should I use once I get it open to smooth it out.
Idk if you have removed the screws successfully yet, but once u do get them out I'd just replace them with stainless steel screws of the same size and head type.
Ill always replace any hardware on my sirens with stainless steel. It can get a little costly, but you'll never again deal with rusted hardware.
@@nascarsimracing1 I might have to hammer them out they are really rusted in there
@@sirensofgahannaOhio I've looked at pics and it appears those stator screws are a screw with a nut on the other side. Is that the case with yours? Because if so, i would suggest cutting your losses with those screws and grind off their head. Then u can pop out the remainder of its threads and the nut. Then just replace with brand new hardware. Be careful when grinding. Try not to take any stator material off when grinding the screw head down. If u scratch it a tiny bit, u probably could smoothen it out with some sanding and new paint.
Can you do a video on how to wire one up with an extension cord?
Also
Imagine using one as a fan taking out the stay or I wonder if these still spin with the stator. If they do it’s probably very wobbly lol.
Sure. I can do that sometime. It’s pretty easy.
@@cooldomino1800 alright ima try to get one.
@@cooldomino1800 by the way what port ratio is a single tone and dual tone I’m assuming the dual tone is 4/5 port correct?
@@WhelenWPS3000 yes. That’s correct. I want a 2T as well.
@@cooldomino1800 nice! But hey I’d be glad I have one anyways.
How many sirens do you have?
Check out my siren collection video short.
How many inches is the chopper on one of these things?
I believe it’s like 5 or 6 inch.
@@cooldomino1800 Is that the height of it or the width?
@@TheCamWheel you can look up the specs on federal signal’s website.
@@cooldomino1800 Federal doesn't say everything about it. They only say how big the housing is.
@@TheCamWheel oh. I’ll measure it for you.
The model 2 has the same motor brushes as the thunderbolt 1003, 1000t, 1000
Yup!
And there's one more you forgot the Thunderbolt 2000
@@ThunderboltSiren1003 1000 and 2000 are the same
@@Chevy_Camaroz28 not true 2000's used gas-powered blowers
@@ThunderboltSiren1003 but the choppers are completely identical so hes right
Do you have a tutorial on how to wire the Model 2 to 240V?
It’s very simple. Just take the 2 lives from your house ( ether from 2 phases or from a dryer outlet) I have one on my 2nd channel.
I want one where did you get this?
I got it from a fire department.
Will the fields from a model 2-240 work in a thunderbolt?
Yes. They are pretty much the same. As long it’s for 240v
The motor from a 240 or 120v model 2 will work in a thunderbolt. Just make sure to only put 120 or less if u put a 120v motor in it. There even are some thunderbolts in service with 120v choppers in them.
@@nascarsimracing1 maybe that on top of the reverse wired blow is why this one's so high pitched czcams.com/video/UBTclKrI9rM/video.htmlsi=Zb4HXcHtscrPGd0S
What kind of motor starter do you recommend?
Probably a size 1 with a 20 amp overload.
Sorry, i should have been more specific, a starter for 240V 20Amps.
@@lilomelet68 most starters are rated for 240 across the contacts and the coil is normally 120v.
Do a model A next
I have a model 315. The motors can vary. But I’ll see what I can do.
@@cooldomino1800 ok
Model 315s are model A's
@@Chevy_Camaroz28 mine is made by EST. it’s a little difficult design. But some motors have an open commentator, while mine is sealed.
@@cooldomino1800 ok
Hey where is the link to the brushes? I am working on getting a model 2 and I'd like to know.
I’ll send you a link later. And I’ll put it in the description.
