- *IMPORTANT UPDATE 05/28/2023: This siren was removed and was taken to the repair shop for repairs to the siren. The chopper motor is dead. County plans to reinstall this siren by spring 2024. I repeat, this siren will be reinstalled next year.*
Recorded on Saturday, July 3rd, 2021. This is a weekly fire/tornado siren test of the Newberry County Fire/Tornado Siren System. This siren was tested every Saturday at noon (now tested at the last Saturday of every month at noon). This siren was FIXED! I thought I was never gonna hear this siren in hi-lo anymore. Thanks to firefighters, emergency management, and siren maintenance for making this repair happen! Solenoid was fixed about a month ago. I tried to record this siren a month ago and siren failed due to radio failure. I also met up with SouthCarolinaSirens for this and he took a drone video for me. This siren is located in Silverstreet, SC at Silverstreet VFD.

The fact that this siren is still working (almost)perfectly just shows how much effort went into these things
you dont need looks in sirens, you need functionality for years to come.
@@themanhimselfsunnyif he wants to look into sirens he can it’s not ur choice ur not his mom
@hussnain6472 i think you misunderstood him 😂
Awesome that they just had this fixed. I haven't watched the videos of this siren in over a year!
Ah another classic silverstreet video from you, Christopher! Great work as always, and we are very glad this siren was fixed, and for you to record it once more!
Yes
I'm honestly glad it's fixed instead of a replacemen(even though this bolt is overrated). If they haven't done so already, I will try to film this, depending on when I can go to film it.
Nice video! You're welcome for the drone video.
Hi

Here comes the siren kiddies.

That’s what they will do
@@alexmcface besides this thing needs to die. It is honestly just a piece of useless scrap metal as it is unnecessary. No one uses fire sirens these days
The thing I like most is that it sounds like it did when you first recorded it back in 2012
This Thunderbolt is my most favourite siren ever it sounds SO COOL
I love sirens! Sirens are so cool and loud!😅
Dear God its back to normal. This is great
Yep
yeah HILO
Well the choppers died
Old but gold
The siren has been there since 1963 Sheesh it still sounds excellent

BEST THUNDERBOLT SIREN EVER
Serving since the 60’s and sounds like a brand new siren
It’s actually interesting how they do the hi lo it is controlled by the two boxes on the side
Great video!

Looks rough, sounds mint. Great video!

I love Thunderbolts! :)
Ah yes its been a hot minute since trainsandsirens did a sliverstreet video epic
I remember when I went there in 2007 Still looked the same.
Planning to film this siren for my birthday
Hey I found a thunderbolt in Hartman, AK
ive seen these irl and these are bigger then I thought they would be
They’re smaller than i thought
@@dank980depends how far you are from it
cool. good to see it better
Who can get new solenoid for St Paul's thunderbolt 1003A?
I live in Nebraska!
This siren's chopper is dead.
Finally the darn thing is running somewhat better. Good video, I'm not sure why, but there's something about this video that I like more than the others. Good work
Maybe the camera angle was better
Same
Sounds great, hope they repair it correctly, touch up the paint, and fix/replace the front screen on that fabulous yellow horn!👍👍😀😀❗❗
Theyre doing it now (chopper motor broken since 12/31/22) and agreed, they will repair, refurbish and repaint it.
@@uraveragecringebrazilian😢
YAY SOLENOID IS FIX ITS BEEN LIKE 3 YEAR :D
That is because the brushes haven’t broken in yet, once they do it’ll sound a bit better.
Its pitch did not drop at all. It held it perfectly.

Coollllll :D!!!

Yay fixed solenoids again yayayayayay
Somebody’s come repaint this old girl
Kids:Oh nO ItS sIrEN HeAd WeRe gOnNa DiE
YESSSSS ITS FIXED
Hopefully they repaint it
The beast is alive once more!
This siren can give you nightmares if it’s very old and rusty.
Why not?
Hey I also see they fix the solenoid
Hehe big loud thing makes my caveman brain go brrrrrr (on another notr it's cool to see a 1003 still in operation. My favorite siren by far!)
I wonder how long will these Solenoids hold up a year ago the real possibility of this being replaced with a 2001-130 or 508-128 was a almost certainty also how long do they last
The solenoids will easily last over 10 years if properly maintained.
If it gets replaced by anything I’d say their best choice is a Whelen vortex because it can do hi lo
@@dank980 Bruh Modulators can also.
@@HSETM modulators suck. good for small areas but they give barely any coverage.
@@dank980 I would say put like 2 Modulators in Silverstreet or smth
I'm gonna make a miniature version of this, but simplified.
At 0.75 speed it sounds just like Lake Bluff but with pitch fluctuations
That thing sounds great for looking like its had the snot beat out of it.
It doesn't need to look pretty it just has to do its job
The thunderbolt 1003 was smashed by a tornado in 11/6/2011😢,but it still working.😮
1962 was it's installation date, so it is 57 years old as of now. What an old girl she is... This siren was possibly repainted in the 70's or 80's considering how rusty it would be if it was never taken care of (Though it is still pretty rusty). The tower that it's mounted to also looks clean, so the tower could have been repainted, too.
Keep goin' strong, Silvertreet!
It was installed in 1962, not 1963.
@@SouthCarolinaSirens That was a typo! Fixing that now, LOL!
hi Christopher
The siren solenoid is broken for now
That thing is still up?
Yes.
I cool! You went to record the silverstreet thunderbolt 1003 like I suggested
Awesome Video! I love how you can see both solenoids in the horn operating at 1:42.
It’s cool to see it working again
@@1000BT Yep it sure is.
Yeah
Awesome video! Brought me on a nostalgia trip, next time there’s a meet up in the Newberry area let me know and I’ll come. Also what camera did you use for audio?
He used a Panasonic HC-V180
@@SouthCarolinaSirens I’m starting to take a liking to that camcorder, maybe I’ll grab one of them.
Sounds fine for a rusty one 😁
Just wondering, how is the Siren Collection #3 coming along?
Considering I've seen videos of ones that look mint but they have a broken solenoid box failing blower and or Chopper Motors and inactive rotators? Yea id say so
Omg cool
I need to come out here sometime
And also since I like lifts(elevators) I may try to find one in Silverstreet as well
Do you know how tiny Silverstreet even is? Youre not gonna find an elevator here lol.
@@SouthCarolinaSirens somewhere around there
Yeah, Silverstreet has less than 400 people living in the town.
@@SouthCarolinaSirens holy shit
So the Siren was fixed? Bc I thought they were gonna replace this with another 1003.
If it was getting replaced it would be replaced by a 2001-130
Your siren going on in Sunday
Sounds like my alarm clock
Kinda but no
Woooow amazing
0:25 i can hear the solenoids working 😮
I had an update. The poor siren got remove idk why. I went back to the SilverStreets Fire dep shows the thunderbolt got remove leaving the stand and the blower. The siren got remove at March 2024. Its sad to see a poor siren working. Beause they said its sounds bad and decided to remove it cuz of the sick sound and chopers. Its sad to see it 😢
Rest in peices😢
My friends are actually gonna put this back up soon. They fully refurbished this siren already.
@@TrainsAndSirens1 wait really?!
@@TrainsAndSirens1 I did not know
@@TrainsAndSirens1 sry about that
Must be one of the late 5M models. It’s got the weather cap commonly found on 4M’s.
1962 mid
It's not. As the guy above said (who is somehow correct) it's a 1963 model. I'm guessing that they had to design a new weather cap in order to fit the solenoid wires. After 1964 I'm going to guess they just decided to use that cap for all thunderbolt types, 1003 or not.
@@thespiritstingray9359 the FD says 62

Doesn't really sound like chopper 5. its more like chopper 4 to me
At the windup it sounded like it almost hit peak 5 for 2 seconds then it slowly started fluctuating from high 5 to low-mid 5, collector rings are dirty.
@@anonymousarsonist9653 might be the case, though keep in mind the brushes were replaced recently when this was recorded.

Set playback to .25 sounds cool

Dude when did they even install this siren? It's like so rusty. And not only that. But the Screen Holder is damaged. Glad they fixed it tho!
Installed in 1962. The oldest known 1003 in existence.
Who knows there may be more than one oldest siren
there is an older unit on an island in Alaska

Wow! They fixed it! That's great! Now all they gotta do is add a new coat of paint xD
You can kind of hear the hi lo tone pitch change
Pretty much a new siren everything got fixed
It's still a far way away from being "like new." Still has some slight pitch fluctuations. Also, rust and paint chipping is becoming an issue, and the broken screen needs to be taken care of

There's someone named Roblox thunderbolt sirens and more that falsely reported me just for saying this bolt is overrated. I have screenshots and am willing to share them on Reddit on r/averagesirenkiddie.
The name was changed after I took those screenshots.

This is the same siren that everybody uses from some reason I clicked on this and this is the same!

Unfortunately not. Siren Head's classic siren is a mix of High-Low and Wail, therefore birthing "Alternate Wail"
