Re: Input needed on a Thunderbolt mounting issue

I don't think they'll single pole mount it, they'll keep the double pole mount and just replace the one pole. That would make the most sense

Input needed on a Thunderbolt mounting issue

Hello everyone, I was just wanting some input on the following issue. A couple of our original Thunderbolt installs use a two pole method with a platform that the blower sits on. I recently went over to one of the siren locations and noticed how bad the utility pole is warped down by the control box...

Re: Morrill Nebraska Thunderbolt siren

Crawford NE's 1003 has a similar setup, but a Sterling instead of a Decot on the blower platform. Is there any other small towns in the panhandle area that has/did this kind of setup?

Re: Scottsbluff, Nebraska Thunderbolt pictures.

Also found this picture of a Federal 2001 siren in the neighboring town of Gering, which had 3 Thunderbolt 1003s replaced in 2002 with 2001 sirens. All that's left is the two pole stubs from the Thunderbolt mounting next to the 2001.

Re: Scottsbluff, Nebraska Thunderbolt pictures.

Yes,,that is the Thunderbolt that sits in the Public Works department lot now, it was repainted when they relocated it. I wish they would've kept the double pole mouth style when they rolocated the two of them.

The original system consisted of 3 Tbolts installd in 1976, 2 more were added in the mid 80's. They were also used for fire calls but in the late 80's the fire department opted for pagers. ...

Re: Another 508 in Amarillo Tx

So that one ACA Alertronic 4000 that KDKsiren videoed that started out single time and switches to daul has been replaced? That's a shame, not too many dual toned Alertronics out there
