Grandaddy Thunderbolt

[Oldiesmann]

We have quite a few of those ancient TBolts around here, all installed around 1950. Great find though

Actually on the survey disc that Clayton gave us. I only saw one. It's the gray Tbolt on Ellison off of Linwood in Mt. Lookout.

There's one on a pole on Sutton Avenue in Anderson Township as well. There are more than two, but only two photos showing them on the survey disc. If you look through the database, you'll see several listed as "TC4-1000" or "TC-1000" (depending on which table you look at) from 1950.

The blower motor looks almost identical to my SD-10 motor. It was definitely produced by the same company.

That looks like an A-series blower! I would like to hear it running(the blower).

That blower motor looks an awful lot like a Peerless. I have a Peerless on an air compressor and it looks just like that.

Does the blower turn? If so, get that oil drained and get some new oil in there. Hurry, rust waits for no man.

The blower does turn and and if you spin it by hand it will continue to turn. Already did the oil thing. It was stored inside so all is in good shape. Thanks for the concern.

The blower is a monster! It's weird how the horns had gradually smaller "gates" injstead of screens. Really good find, and good luck!
