For the most part, all the old sirens have been replaced with 508's and 2001's. Nothing special there. Also, I'm now 25 yrs old and have to work and whatnot. Not allot of time left in the day. Hard to believe how long these vids have been up. Glad people still look though. Thanks for watching and asking questions. I do look at them and try to respond when I can.

​@kdksiren I understand that it's hard to keep up with a lot of them and it's sad that Amarillo replaced their entire old siren system but can you make an update video of the cyclones in Hereford? If you can't that's fine you know? But I wish they kept these cyclones and thunderbolts and whatever sirens that were there!?

Another thing KDKSiren is what happened to the screamer in Okarche? Like what happened to the shroud?

@@Texas_siren_fan125 Have no idea

​@@kdksiren ok?

Yep. It was a sad day. Ha Ha. Travis came up to see us and record a vid. Went to re-visit this beast and well it was on death row for sure. It has been replace with a FS 508.

Sure. No problem

@@kdksiren Thank you. I will put a link to your video in my video description.

@@SirenArchivesI love those vids, tvhat is what brought me here.

Oh my gosh. Don't remember. Had three of them back then My favorite was a Sony model so probably that one. They all fit on my tripod.

@@kdksiren Oh, alright.

Don't know what happened to any of the old siren system. Probably went to auction but not sure. They took the old system completely out. All that is left is 2001's and 508's. Kinda dull. They wanted battery backup for the entire lot.

@@kdksiren well what I wish (this is my moms account) but I wish I had this same exact one on plum Creek drive but someday I will get it back and I will make a video of it and I live about 7 hours from Amarillo (in Burnet to be exact) but I hope I will get this beast and I think for X-Mas I am going to get a mini one of these beasts!

Would be nice. Probably won't ever do that though. The cost to make a rotor that is dual tone is more than single tone. I think Sentry is the only one that does large dual tone sirens. Could be wrong though.

If I do make Sirens 8/12 Port will definitely be an Option.

125 dB. These have the 50 HP motor. Quite the attention getter. Sad they are no longer made or the City of Amarillo has anymore. They have all been replaced.

​@kdksiren the way you can tell the difference in 125 and 120 is in the wattage? And also look at the design difference the Cyclone 120 has a flatter hat then the cyclone 125 the 125 has a much more pointier hat then the cyclone 120 Also KDKsiren nice cyclone video it's a shame! That they took out all there old sirens!

nice

Yep! Was in Hereford yesterday and it was still standing. Along with all the Cyclones. Didn't chase down the old SD-10's.

@@kdksiren oh, hello! didn’t think I would see you here

@@pelicanstatesirens Still here. Look at comments from time to time. Wish there was something new around to take vid of. Hard to believe its been all these years. Will soon be 26 Years old. Gosh how time flies! Take care and thanks for the comments!

@@kdksiren No problem! Wish the best for you!

All are Cyclone's. There are no P-50's on the system. Actually there is nothing of the old system left. The only ones Amarillo uses now is 2001's and 508's.

I don't know the testing schedule. I'm sure they still do it at the same time and day. not for sure though.

I assume you mean because of the loudness of these? The windows probably rattle and people inside are wishing they moved to a different location! Ha ha!! I've been under one when it came on and believe me it's intense.

yikes

can they break?

and can the windows break if its like 135 dbs

@@ItsnotIsaiah I doubt it. Dad lived about a half a block from the one by the golf course when they were first installed in '81 and nothing happened. It's more the reverberation than the loudness.

It doesn't seem that long ago! Sad all the old sirens are now gone. Thanks for the comment!

No P-50's were ever on the Amarillo system. What you are hearing are Cyclones. Sadly, all the old system is gone and replaced by 2001's and 508's.

@@Bob-c7l p50's were made a long time ago until they got discontinued

Thanks Terry. I wasn't born till 1998. Dad lived in Hereford at that time and he doesn't remember that. But that was 30+ yrs ago too.

@@kdksiren hey KDK siren I wish they still had this one and the other ones but it would be cool to see the one on plum Creek drive

In a word, Yes. The entire system activates at one time. The SD-10's are about 70 yrs old. Installed in the 1950's. One was located on the old fire department {Long since torn down} and the other was located at about Union St. and Ave G. When the Cyclones were installed in 1981, they were relocated to the San Jose addition SW of town the the other at the end of S. Main street. Don't know if they still work but since they are (or were last time I was there) I'm assuming they still work. But they are old for sure. Dad was born and lived there till early '90's. He told me about this. The original Cyclone and SD-10 activation was done through phone wires but has since been upgraded to wireless. They also would sound in the attack mode during a tornado warning but now just do the alert. This was according to Jay Spain who was the Fire Chief for Hereford VFD during this time. Uncle was on the fire dept and knew this also.

thanks!

Wish I had the time to go back there and get a new recording. Thanks for letting me know!

of course!

Positive that all 7 of these in this town are not reversed wired. They are powerful and loud. Lived there many yrs and they can easily be heard anywhere inside or out. Great sirens!!! They were installed in 1981 and have stood the test of time.

@@kdksiren i noticed. P-50s and cyclones usually last 40 years if not more.
