2 min Alert.

Sounded kind of sick. Was not very loud at all.

You just cannot find an old dual-tone Allertronic that works right. Have one active AL-4000 here that works somewhat well.

Is it me, or does the lower cover look similar to that of a Penatrator/Allertor? Very cool to see a dual-tone rotating Allertronic!

They are, just goes to show how big these are.

It sounds like an old analog controller, maybe the same age as the ones that are/used to be in Amarillo TX.

Where is this one located? The allertronic over by the holiday inn is now a T-128 I believe.

this one is at the FD, and is the "Thunderbolt" heard in my Quadren video. also Gil kudos to you sir for beating me to this unit. Traffic on I94 stopped me from coming here. Also I like the Thunderbolt blower pipe

Correct. that oine was replaced a few months ago. this one is at a fire station - at the intersection of Kirchoff Rd & Meadow Dr.

there are still 2 other allertronics in RM...one of which i saw last week....not sure if the other has been replaced or not.

im guessing there was another siren here before this one....it looked really interesting to me. Thunderbolt possibly?

I know the allertronics were installed around '85 or so..........
