Man, I wish that we had sirens like that here in the Netherlands. We only have some crappy speaker sirens. (I think that they are Modulator 2008s, but with an unique warning tone. They're spread thru out the whole country.) Not only that, but they're going to removed in 2020! It's going to be replaced with an cellular service called "NL-Alert."
To be fair, EOWS 612s and 812s are hard to compare with long-horned sirens (FS T-bolt 1003s, ACA Allertors, and P-50s) because the EOWS sirens are one of the few sirens that are vertical and are more likely to be compared to non-rotary sirens. (Modulators, Whelen WPS-3016s, and 3T22s)
This brings back memories from when this tower was in Sea Isle and Ocean city and Stone harbor NJ. It would always go off around noon. Its not as loud in this video cause they're only using half the speakers. It's like 10 times as loud! It scared me as a kid if I was close it and I tried to stay a safe distance so it wouldn't be so loud. I also called it the lunchtime tower cause it would always go off at noon lol
And it is not there anymore cause the replaced it with a tower do th white stacks, completely different sound and tone, not as loud as this one. Its more subdued and melancholy.
Actually what I think is a 1,000-t Dual Tone went off in Kansas about 1960 and I definitely hear a train but now I hear reports that sound is generated by the RFQ updraft
+Follow The Flag Productions Since this is an older 612 ,it had a Siratone controller. The newer 612s from the early 90s had MC controllers ,Then in the late 90s to 2005 they had MCP controllers.
Green And Orange Line Productions indeed it was! When they were going off, the plates in the kitchen were shaking from what I was told, and a friend about a mile away heard them
2716 Productions the siren on the left is plugged into a control bot which is plugged into the wall. The siren on the right is plugged into an amplifier (concert equipment) which is also plugged into the wall
It isn't quite there yet. It's still missing the wall on the backside and I still need to remove the screens on all the horns. It can make noise, but I need to fine a more permanent setup instead of my current temporary setup
DaNuke 26rblx it just makes the sounds programmed into the Mc controller. The siren head is just a speaker, they’re compatible with just about everything
Yeah but EOWS-612 sirens have older speakers then modulators as they are older than modulators. May not sound the best though together as the speakers of it may sound terrible with newer technology used in the modulator. Like how a SNES game console looks worse on flat screens due to how it loads things in. I dont know though because I am a [censored]ing idiot.
Sawyer Tube I changed it because I did not like the name. It made absolutely zero sense and it was created by using an online username generator. Although not completely satisfied with my new name, it’s more professional and a lot better than my previous one
Creeperboy this isn’t makeshift. It’s a real thunderbolt 1000b, it’s just running on half the voltage it is designed for, and in return sounding deeper than it was designed to
Instructions unclear, neighbors are deaf.
I love how you test these when theres other tests going on to avoid confusion

Sara those modulators have an interesting sound but I can imagine they get very annoying very quick. Shame they’re being removed
My thoughts exactly. It would be nice if we had some other sirens....well, to be fair, the unique tone never gets old.
I wish they had some real mechanical sirens
@@coydog7902 Scope the Chrysler Air Raid Siren
Luchtalarm Nederland signal tone?
The thunderbolt sounds like a Chrysler air raid siren
Not really
Edit: nvm I thought it was a 1000t not a 1000b
It does kind of
Lol The Thunderbolt Sounds Like A Old Single Tone Air Raid Siren
Lol
Geez Thunderbolts are tiny compared to a 612.
Duderocks5539 I love the chime tones that you used.
An 812 is even bigger

It would take 6 thunderbolts to make a 612
C O L L E C T E R R I N G S
God EOWS 612's are the best. I miss them 😢
Which audio did you use for the DT Whelen mimick sound?
Siren1000T it was the last synth in this video ua-cam.com/video/6t1nvTwls44/v-deo.html
Oh yeah. I actually used that video as well for using part of the synth on Livonia's old sirens.

What amp was powering the EOWS 612
I use a 1970 Peavy Series 400 Bass amp
Why is a Tornado siren Playing Chords? Or am I imagining things? Seriously, I can hear more than one tone at a time when that EOWS does the chimes
It’s playing dual tone. It is indeed playing more than one note at a time
Actually what I think is a 1,000-t Dual Tone went off in Kansas about 1960 and I definitely hear a train but now I hear reports that sound is generated by the RFQ updraft
The Dual Wail sounds great
Why is the EOWS 612 sounding Westminster?
Alerting people for incoming test. I guess.
You looking for an MC or MCP so you can get the 612 fully working? can't wait until you can get her going full bore!
Justin Lynch thanks! I don’t have any proper controllers for it, but fortunately I know a guy not too far with controls if I ever need one.
like siren 1000t, right?
NVW Music exactly

+Justin Lynch This is an older 612 ,so it used a Siratone controller.
I want this in my backyard to scare the neighbors
Lol if they dont notice a giant square cone/a box with speakers attached.
Wow. That was LOUD!!!!!
Green And Orange Line Productions indeed it was! When they were going off, the plates in the kitchen were shaking from what I was told, and a friend about a mile away heard them
Did you get the dual tone from Siren1000T? I think the audio coming out of the 612 is from one of his videos.
Green And Orange Line Productions it was actually the ESC-864 tones synth video by Nick Oakman
How are you able to do this
2716 Productions the siren on the left is plugged into a control bot which is plugged into the wall. The siren on the right is plugged into an amplifier (concert equipment) which is also plugged into the wall
Follow The Flag Productions no I dont mean like that. Is it like a siren test day or something for you
2716 Productions yes. Every first Saturday of every month is siren testing day
wait wat? thats how easy it is to turn on the tbolt? all you have to do is plug the whatever into the timer to the wall?
This would be a cool door bell it scare someone first but after they get used to it they be fine 😁
0:11 Someone go get the door I think the neighbors are here 😭😭
Is it fully restored yet?
It isn't quite there yet. It's still missing the wall on the backside and I still need to remove the screens on all the horns. It can make noise, but I need to fine a more permanent setup instead of my current temporary setup
The t-bolt sounds sick
Ian Wilson it’s running on half the power it’s designed for
Oh...
It's running on a leaf blower lol
ITZ JACOB -_- he does
Wow those are much bigger than I thought
What happens if you use a federal signal MC control box instead of a federal signal siro-tone control box on a EOWS 612?
DaNuke 26rblx it just makes the sounds programmed into the Mc controller. The siren head is just a speaker, they’re compatible with just about everything

Like how a SNES game console looks worse on flat screens due to how it loads things in. I dont know though because I am a [censored]ing idiot.
DaNuke 26rblx age doesn’t really matter in this case, it’d sound the same as a modulator. Mine are old but they’re in good shape
Ok
Man after this how you can hear something?!
Hey is the 612 fully restored red cause it sounds like it was just made also cool
Kloeqeen09 thank you! But no, the restoration isn’t fully complete yet. Still have a little more to do
Thunderbolt 100b and EOWS 612 sound like is air aid siren.
I am looking for a reasonably priced thunderbolt 1003 does anybody know where I could find one?
West shore services. You’ll have to pick it up yourself but the cost of the siren head with the controls will be in the low triple digit range
Cannonball Films thanks!
Whats means first sound?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Quarters
The 612 siren is just playing music
its also sounding in wail
Cool man!!!!
I have a question why did you change your channel name? i like railyard warrior
Sawyer Tube I changed it because I did not like the name. It made absolutely zero sense and it was created by using an online username generator. Although not completely satisfied with my new name, it’s more professional and a lot better than my previous one
Makeshift Thunderbolt 2000? cool.
Creeperboy this isn’t makeshift. It’s a real thunderbolt 1000b, it’s just running on half the voltage it is designed for, and in return sounding deeper than it was designed to
Follow The Flag Productions I was referring to the gas powered leaf blower you used to supercharge it
Creeperboy oh yeah that (I’m totally not stupid at all) yeah it makes a great substitute
