Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T | Full Alert (w/broken rotator) | East China, MI 10/7/24

This bolt has been on my radar for a little while, but with how questionable it is I waited till now to film it. Its changed positions last month and this month when I arrived but when it sounded it didn’t rotate still.. not sure if the wind is blowing it or something else is happening with it, still sounds good regardless!
Sirens in St. Clair Co. are tested on the first Monday of the month @1pm

that paintjob looks like it could fit well for an army base lol

[@IowaSirensProductions]

I love that paint job! i bet the rotator belt just snapped, easy fix.

[@VintageCollections]

That windup doesn’t sound too good.. am I hearing scraping?

[@sirensofsoutheastmichigan]

@@VintageCollections pretty sure its just the air swooshing from the blower or something rattling, I heard no scraping in person

[@TheSleepyMechanic0524]

That’s just metallic resonance, sometimes is audible, Wichita’s T104 was known for doing it, the Youngstown jailbar does it as well

[@jacksvacssafety2620]

That's probably just the air relief valve bobbing up and down

[@EastDetroitMusic-Sirens3000A]

No scraping, just the pressure relief valve. It’s normal.

[@EOWS812]

That bolt sux.
Replace it with a 2001-130.

[@TheAustinSubRailfan]

I'd take a thunderbolt any day then a 2001.

@EOWS812 meh, im taking a Tbolt over a crappy 2001.
