The Thunderbolt series comes in 3 models: 1000 (single-tone model) 1000T (dual-tone model, without hi-lo solenoids) 1003 (dual-tone model, with hi-lo capability) So yes, each plate will say that it's a 100x. It's just what parts they have on the siren head indicate specifically what model it is as n...

ACA Allertor 125 siren no-go (White Bear Lake, MN)

Thought I'd also report back on the Allertor behind the car dealership on County F & US 61 in White Bear Lake as well. It doesn't work. All the siren does is make a faint hum when it's supposed to start. I think it's truly sad to see in my opinion...

Thunderbolt 1000, turned 1000T (Mahtomedi, MN)

Shot this siren during Minnesota's severe weather week last Wednesday. This siren, according to comments, has undergone a chopper change, turning it from a 1000 to a 1000T.

Thanks for all the compliments on the siren clip, guys. I didn't know that I recorded such a rare find until you told me that it was. Hopefully the Allertor behind the dealership is a 10/12 port too. I'm looking forward to recording it for sure!

Ambience

The two Allertors are a little more than a mile apart. I'd probably be able to hear the T'bolt from city hall pretty good, but I don't know about the Allertors specifically.

I saw another Allertor on the corner of County F and Highway 61 in White Bear Lake as well. I have not inspected it completely as it's behind an old car dealership, but it doesn't look functional. I'm going to have to try and record that one next month. Luck might have it that if it is functional, i...

ACA Allertor 125 - White Bear Lake, MN

Recorded a new siren video on YouTube. Located on the corner of Stacker Boulevard and Portland Avenue in White Bear Lake. Finally learned how to do some video editing, which makes this one look a lot more presentable than all of the other videos I've posted... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElPAoDmt...

I think I was in a similar recording range from the siren to hear the blower in both videos (usually I hang back about 150 feet from the siren base or so). The only difference between the two was that there was a lot of wind with the City Hall recording, and a lack of it at this one.
