I have pictures of that exact siren.

Man, that Attack mode is freaky and messed up! Instead of actually winding
down, it appears they higher the voltage and make the pitch go higher.

VERY weird and unusual.

Yeah, it's a step higher than what it should be.
Is that rust I see on the rotator box? The screen's missing, too? This siren needs refurbishing.

I'm surprised someone pointed that out, becauss Tinley Park seems to have
the most well-kept Thunderbolts I know of.

IIRC, all of their Thunderbolts have backup AC Generators.

Sweet videos!
There's a sweet type of signal.

Man, Shawnee County's sirens need refurbishing too! Some of the thunderbolts, model 5s, have paint peeling off, not really rust but even some of the control boxes on the older 2001s are all rusty with pain peeling off.

*shivers down back* that attack is freaky
but i can hear a nother T bolt in the back round sounding correctly. and when it pointed right at the camera it seemed to still be moveing .
weird
