Are you sure that's a T-121? That looks like a Jailbar T-Bolt.

This is a very cool project and it's awesome that you got a news article about it! Best of luck for the project going forward!

As SirensofNewYork said above me though, that siren is a Federal Signal Thunderbolt. The T-121 is a newer, currently-produced model of siren by American Signal Corporation (ASC), from their Tempest line.
Edit: Nevermind, the other posts below give more context.

Architecture preservationist. I enjoy obscure history and mapping things, and grew up around sirens. Not planning to own one.

T121 is this unit's serial number, at least on the blower. Interestingly, the head is T122.

That means he has the 121st Thunderbolt produced. (excluding prototypes if I'm correct) Thats an epic restoration project.
