Amberley Village, Ohio Thunderbolt 1000T located in French Park
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- This is the October 6th, 2010 test of the Amberley Village Thunderbolt 1000T, located in French Park. Growl = 1:52; Alert = 4:22; Attack = 6:21. I thought that this would be a good siren to record because of the fact that it was located in a park and is one of the lower mounted sirens in the Cincinnati area.
The siren and the house that it was attached to, are now gone. The replacement T-128 is down the street from this location on Section Road. It is near the intersection of Ridge Road and Section Road.
One of the old Thunderbolt vids, and one of these which has always stuck in my mind. I keep finding myself back here!

stolen lol u can read desc for signals/tones
yeah no shit it said that in the description
Love how it looks gone,and just roars to life
A nice sounding 4/5 port! Still sounds good as new with no problems!
You prune,it sounds awful
@@stephensnell5707 Overall it sounds great. The only thing is that they set the wind down time to be super long
@@stephensnell5707 you bozo it sounds beautiful
@@BRISTOLFORCE2009 you ignorant bugger,the sounds from the Siren itself clearly indicates that the Siren has seen better days
Also,stop being an ignorant git
@@BRISTOLFORCE2009do stop calling me that,I'm a normal grown up Adult and I clearly agree the Siren in this Video is awful and has a huge amount of corrosion and rust
That poor old siren is in such a terrible state and sounds awful⚠️
At least it got replaced with a new one as the video description mentions
Excellent video! I love how the blower amplifies the EXTREME low frequencies, and how the thing takes off with the rotation!
That growl was badass
I thought that too!
Sounds like a turbocharged V8/V10 (like one you'd find in an old Chevy Nova)
Grrr

Search up “Honolulu tsunami sirens” then hear that growl it’s *SCARY.
CONFUSION ELEMINATOR:
The odd sound: This siren uses a 4/5 port chopper, while most others use a 5/6 port chopper.
The fast spinning: The thunderbolt can rotate at 2, 4, or 8 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute,) and this one is set to 8.
The long wind-down: There's a time delay (Agastat) in the RCM1 control box. This changes how long the rotator and blower (the supercharger) will wait before turning off when the chopper (the actual siren part) is turned off. Without this, the wind-down would not be able to be heard from far distances. The Agastat in this siren seems to be set for too long or broken.
The odd attack timing: The attack signal is controlled by wooden cams that press buttons. If wanted, a custom timed weel could (probably) be made, and there's a small chance that this siren has a custom attack timing wheel.
“I got the whole wind down so I’ll use the whole wind down”
This is definitely a "senior" siren! Nice low pitch, and the poor thing has to stop between attacks. It spins fast enough to dry the paint if someone cared enough to!
4/5 on chopper 6
What is "chopper 6"? As opposed to the levels?
@@Zickcermacity The Thunderbolt has voltage settings called chopper levels or tap settings it goes 1-7.
@@Ultimate2T22 its called '4/5' No Chopper 6 or 7 in this one
@@DeathWars that's chopper level 6
Damn! Sounds a lot like an ACA Hurricane in 4/5 port, chopper level 4. She's a spinner too!
We had one of these on the police station in Garden City Michigan where I grew up. It was mounted a few feet higher than the roof, and it was good and loud, with rich, full tones that made it easy to pick out over bad weather. They replaced it in the 90's with a couple digital jobs, and theyre way more quiet. In fact, they may have replaced them since (I think). It was a good, reliable siren.
You mean they're(short for they are)
🫤🐀😁
Were they both single tone thunderbolts?
She's so old but sounds amazing!
Her rotater is fast, for an oldie!
It's spelt Rotator NOT the way you spelt it, your spelling is wrong
@@stephensnell1379 don’t be like you are and leave people alone. Please
@@LilThomas2010 just get your grammar correct
@@LilThomas2010 I cannot stand people that don't spell correctly!People CAN spell correctly if they try!
If you look away not scary if you look at the Thunderbolt siren on spinning his head so fast scary
2:06 turn up your volume
Sounded like a mixture with T-128's or 2001's.
It sound like a another thunderbolt 1000t in the background but high or low pitched
Thunderbolt 1000T
Sounds like it has a messed up attack timer
Nice video! gotta love the old thunderbolts coming back too life!
Dang! That thing spins fast! That's the FASTEST, and I mean *FASTEST* spin I've ever seen!
8 RPM
Great job Nick! Here's another 4/5 port 1000T in Hamilton County, and its set at 8 RPM!
I live how the people in that house in front of it have to live with a siren behind them. 😂🤣😂🤣
They fucking got a siren not There wer just a siren
I think the weird attack signal may have something to do with the Agastat delay being set too long.
R.I.P amberly village ohio thunderbolt, you will be missed
It is a test
Joe16 with what?
Brodie’s_SirenProductions it was replaced with an ASC T-128

JONUTHIN'S LAWNCARE AND CONSTRUCTION INC huh, quite strange
Sounds very healthy, but rotating way too fast. Someone needs to put the rotation gearbox pullies on the next step down. Or all the way down

@@guywhosomething it is not over exagerrated it is the person that is recording is actually burping then coughing as any person normally would
That growl sounds amazing!! 👍👍
it look like, its was there since 1950s
That's because it was.
The timer is set way to long on the attack signal. The siren shouldn't wind all the way down and stop for every waver it makes
I agree the Agastat is too long
That growl is straight out dope.
That rotator is fast
For a 1000 and 1000T, you can't tell the difference by looking at it. The 1000 has a higher pitch to it and a 1000T, like this one, has a lower pitch. On my Channel, there is a video of the St. Bernard 1000. The 1003 sounds the same as a 1000T, but it has solenoids attached to the top of the siren, looks likes eyes to me. The 1003 has the capability to do fire calls for volunteer fore departments.If you do a search for Thunderbolt 1003, on UA-cam you will have a better idea what it looks like.
4:21 is when it starts buddy boy
6:21 this is when it starts... again
1 one us alert 2 one is attack
And the growl is missing
1:52 here's the growl.
@@b00ys24you prune,the Growl is at the Video Duration of 1min52seconds
@aaronsmithbg A growl is a response to the radio signal that the EMA sends to all the sirens in the county. It tells them whether the siren is working or not.

Man, that thing spins fast.
It's an old one.
4:22 *you spin me right round starts playing*
Hahahah
The things swinging around everywhere! I guess you can say it's being a Rusty Crab!!
man, this is a rare 4/5 port thunderbolt, love the long winddown, awesome video
It's actually more common for the 1000 T to be 4-5 port more common for the 1003 to be 5-6 port
come down to Minneapolis for a 4/5 a1 blower thunderbolt
You mean Agastat time
Man that rotater is fast!
Yes too fast
You mean rotator

@@jonuthinslawncareandconstr7772 Thanks man!
@@theboywhodroveaway7954 you're welcome
This was an older one. Can tell by the shorter rotator box. And it has a 6M blower
Ours was in the higher tones like the ones you hear in the background if anyone cares. The big ones like Detroit had were really low like that.
These were the best sirens. I’m curious as to why the Federal Signal corporation chose not to replicate the ominous original tone in the current FS2001’s. Today’s sirens are not as loud, nor do they convey the sense of urgency the sirens of the past did. Today, they sound like fire trucks.
Well probably because the older sirens weren't as reliable as the newer ones. That's just my guess.
@@FreddyFazbear-os4suthat's not going to prevent them using the same sound
My god that thing flies.
1:52 they do they're weekly growl test at 5:00 pm of each month at noon
There are not many of these left in service now. Alot have been replaced or sitting not functional. One here in Wisconsin was in service since 1954 and was just replaced this year!
We had one of these on my old elementary school built in the 60s lol its still there today
Is it active?
Ive never heard it, so i dont assume so.
May I ask what town and state it is located at?
I'm dying to hear one of these in person
@John Gabrielle L. Bautista The only sirens I've heard are 2001s and no other, yet I want to hear a Thunderbolt so bad! There used to be one I used to always pass but it got replaced by a 508
The only sirens I’ve heard in person were a 7B and a 3012
rip the legend
Also another thing that can be very noticeable is the siren is reverse wired and rotating the wrong way
And it’s not reversed wired

Details: Thunderbolt 1000T (A Series),
High agastat time, 4/5 Port, Chopper 6 (I think) and 8 RPM
>the house that it was attached to
The 20th century was lawless.
There is a mistake with the blower at the attack tone
cant tell which siren is lower, this one or the one i just filmed. cant stop watching this video, so cool
This would of been a Siren Enthusiasts Dream House to live in with thier family if both were saved but I wonder how would it have done if that ASC T-128 were to be installed in the same place and just use the old Standpipe as the support and put the canduiet on it leading to the T-128 head
4:22 Is that wire going down
the siren rotates fast and if your listen closely the blower has a little mess-up at the end of the growl
To Nick.....my older son-in-laws family name is Rutschke, any connection? He says some people omitted some of the letters for various reasons. If you know, Thanks!
This sounds exact to the U of M west bank T-Bolt in Minneapolis
that attack is...weird.
It looks like the horn has been replaced becasue the rotator bix looks old.
The Rpm Is 8 Its In Good condition I Think This Poory Has To Stop During Attack Good vid i sub&like¬ificaton bell

6:41
It kind of sounds like an old hot rod sputtering when it winds down all the way.
8RPM! Most t-bolts are 2 or 4 RPM. I believe you can program t-bolts to 8 RPM but it's not used very often (it's so dang fast O_o)
yeah it was pretty neat. unfortunately this got replaced.
L. Swaggett you don't program it, you adjust it. this is an old, mechanical siren!
tornado siren go around that 1minute
Im Counting 9 RPM
There is a 3 step pulley on the motor, as well as the gear reducer. The pulley on the motor has the largest groove in front, medium in the middle, and smallest in the back, while the other pulley is the other way around. This means having the belt in the front (big groove spinning small groove) will give you 8 RPM, putting it in the middle will give you 4 RPM, and the back will give you 2 RPM.
the blower is activated and the chopper its a 4/5 port thunderbolt 100OT
I never seen a thunderbolt rotate that fast. 😮
well i already know that sirens spin fast
The reason is it's set to the highest rotating RPM which is 8
This siren has 3 motors running it. Other types of sirens only have 1 or 2 motors.
Thanks!
what blower did it have? 5M?
6m
@@thespiritstingray9359 nice!
Do they still use this
Do they still use this ? I lived in Copiague 1960 - 1971 we always knew when there was a fire or accident I think the accident sound was several short blasts or noon time. The fire dept.was all volunteers and this was in a time before beepers or cell service .Brings back a childhood memory
It’s gone, sorry
This thunderbolt siren needs a new paint job
the house that it was attached to was a barn just if you wanna know
sounds slightly sick or maybe its on a lower chopper setting like 4 or 3 but it sounds quieter than most.
Sorry to say, but are all of Cincinnati's Thunderbolt's set up like this? Do they all have 8rpm and chopper level 8 settings?
No, not all are like that. And by the way this is not chopper level 8. There is no chopper level 8.
Oh, sorry. I meant level 4 or 3! I already know about some not having functioning rotators, but it's like as if the county or city has each siren set up a certain way as part of a code or signal. (I'm originally from the Dayton area, so I don't really know too much about Cincinnati other than the fact that I've been there many times before in the past).
Well unfortunately all but 2 of this county's sirens have been replaced. One has a T-128 next to it and they both activate. The other is downtown on the government building.
There's also the Jail Bar 1000 on park place which was deactivated, and is still there. I don't know if they will take it down or not.
W202fan probably not. Each municipality is responsible for its own siren removal. Most are just going to sit and rust.
It’s sounds like the GPW 4/5 Port
Yea I'd def say that's spinning way too fast but it's def a cool video my first I've ever seen of a counter clockwise siren really awesome though keep up the great work
It's because it's reverse wired that is what's causing it to spin the wrong way
@@stephensnell1379 no, reversed wired mean the blower in taking air in.
@@stephensnell1379 its set to 8 RPM rotation speed
That thunderbolt 1000T Is Destroyed it's broken so bad Barely worked when they tested it
1:51 growl
Sounds like My angery cat.
Never mind It was just a 1st time
port and rotator RPM are the same as the Thunderbolt in Battle Greek
Attack signal is broken
0:52 Burppp
Then this is right
2810 will say: Hey what do yu say?

Great video, very healthy other than the attack cycle being a little off.
Wrong it sounds in quite a sick sounding state
Ok, sorry for the double comment, but 5:25 to 5:27 is my favorite sound ever. Anyone know why it sounds chorusy like that?
Dillon Carpenter I have no clue why it does that but I absolutely love that sound too- the way it just goes whoosh in sound for a second
1:51 …. Last test ever
4:22 alert
Do You Know Where The City Or Town Scrapped Tht Beast?
That’s definitely 4/5 port
Its definitely old. But that thing can sure rotate!
Heard some other siren in the background, probably a 1000.
