He may still have it if you find yourself needing a Tbolt.
What location was this siren located at specifically? Also who is selling it?
It was in Montgomery, AL on the Lurleen Wallace Building right across the street from the state's capitol.

Also, Jefferson County is beginning to replace the older sirens, or at least the Thunderbolts and other old rotating sirens, IIRC.
I knew that much. West shores is doing service, do you think they will take the old sirens?

It's in the For Sale forum. User name 24george.I could come up with his number I think.
My phone recently took a crap but I may be able to get it.
There is no such thing as a Thunderbolt that is not worth saving.

Unfortunately most of these have been replaced with Tempest sirens however there are a couple 1000Ts left over. One is on the Fox Valley Tech College, abandoned and unable to run
It's been replaced quite a long time ago (almost 10 years according to Streetview) with a T-128.

The abandoned Thunderbolt was still on the roof when I went through there in 2011. It can't be clearly seen on Streetview since it's in the distance.

Many of Outagamie County's Tempests went up around 2001-2002.

In McLean County, IL, they have some 1000s and/or 1000Ts placed throughout the western edge. And in Henry County, IL, there's a 1000 also in the western edge.

Paulding County, Ohio had 3 Thunderbolts but now have 7. a 1003, three 1000's, and 3 1000T's. Cass County, IN also has three Thunderbolts. 2 in Logansport, and one in Royal Center.
In my opinion, I think there way too many 2001's in Indiana!

Bloomington-Normal Illinois is a great place for T-Bolts and other various sirens. They have 6 T-Bolts, 2 3T22s, and when they need to replace a siren, they use ASC T-128s. Have about 8 or 9 of those. There's also a P-15 in North Normal.

I actually lived there at one point! I know/knew about the T-bolts, 2t22s, and the Tempests, with a 2001, but where exactly is the P-15?
