First, let me start off saying that I know WAY too much about Evanston's thunderbolts (Evanston is north of Chicago in illinois). Fun fact, so far the only thunderbolts I have heard were Evanston's. But I have a few questions about them. Recently, I recorded one of their thunderbolt 1000's at fire station 3, and as it was going off, I ran up to the blower, and I just could not identify it. All of evanston's thunderbolts were installed in 1954 or 1955, so they should all have 6m blowers (and I know darn well what a 6m sounds like), and it did NOT sound like a 6m should. It also did not have the pulsating sound that 6m thunderbolts make. Can you help me identify this one? It can be heard here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgThT0voGr8&list=PLU7NjFjcn64TriBYzpuVEi63pwZyDsPuY&index=6

Also, 2 videos of the 1000T that they have (this one was originally a thunderbolt 1000, but the chopper was switched out): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upcziIjMExY&list=PLU7NjFjcn64TriBYzpuVEi63pwZyDsPuY&index=5

Please note that these videos are mine.
P.S: If you have any sort of audio, video, or other information that could be useful about Evanston's thunderbolts, I will gladly accept it, because I plan on returning to catch a few more. Thanks!
