I have pictures of that exact siren.

Man, that Attack mode is freaky and messed up! Instead of actually winding
down, it appears they higher the voltage and make the pitch go higher.

VERY weird and unusual.

Yeah, it's a step higher than what it should be.
Is that rust I see on the rotator box? The screen's missing, too? This siren needs refurbishing.
If your siren is a-failin'
Chances are that it's a Whelen
And if it's just about to die
Then it must be an ATI

I'm surprised someone pointed that out, becauss Tinley Park seems to have
the most well-kept Thunderbolts I know of.

IIRC, all of their Thunderbolts have backup AC Generators.

There's a sweet type of signal.

Man, Shawnee County's sirens need refurbishing too! Some of the thunderbolts, model 5s, have paint peeling off, not really rust but even some of the control boxes on the older 2001s are all rusty with pain peeling off.
