Yeah, that thing was bigger up close than I expected. It might as well be a P-50 turned on its side without the projector.MisterTwister55 wrote:Some people suspect pranksters, some feel it was removed to show you more of the siren. However, a p-50 is almost identical but those are HUGE!
So a Cyclone is basicly a P-50? hmm..... i have some phone calls to make...dilloncarpenter wrote:Yeah, that thing was bigger up close than I expected.

Yep, I know. However, I called them asking the price and they said they had been out of production for the last year or so. It is sad!Allertor113 wrote:I though they were Still in production because on the ASC website they still have a page for the Cyclone.
Well, I wouldn't say that they are rarely used. In my tri-county area, we had 80 of them installed back in the 80's. Sure, they aren't famous like bolts or 2001s, but they are out there. People just assume they are bird houses. hahahahaAllertor113 wrote:So that page is like just a commemoration to the rarely used cyclone?
Yeah we had a cyclone but it... uhm... hwo do i say this... Fell down when the pole it was on fell over...MisterTwister55 wrote:Well, I wouldn't say that they are rarely used.

It Cracked the Stator and bent the housing.
as far as I know, yes. A P-50/T-135 is a Cyclone turned sideways and mounted in the bottom of a huge bucket.Allertor113 wrote:So a Cyclone is basicly a P-50? hmm..... i have some phone calls to make...dilloncarpenter wrote:Yeah, that thing was bigger up close than I expected.
