Very nice! I am amazed. The way an old siren should be. I hope to do that to a rusty 2T22 some day. 8)

Great Job Raymond. It looks amazing. I remember when we met under than thing when you came out to look at it. (shortly there after we damaged our hearing and discovered it worked...very well at that.) I'm glad the few that were taken from Norman have been saved and headed to look like yours. It looks great!

Very,very nice job. I wished mine looked like that. It must have cost you a pretty penny to get it to where it is now.

The lighting in this video is really bad, but I can reshoot it in the summer when the sun moves back to the north.

Unfortunately, I had the rotator wired through the RCM, but there wasn't enough "oomph" to close the motor starter contacts. When I closed the contacts manually, the motor starters made more noise than a siren.

Thanks.

Sorry I couldn't schedule the raising for a day when you were off work. This nice winter weather is not likely to hold forever so I'm taking advantage of every good day.

Maybe by this time next year, we can have your Thunderbolt set up.
