Jacob, *Facepalms* C-series Thunderbolt??!!! What I believe only the 500 and the STH-10 only ones that was once produced / proposed in Coding (C) Series (that even the Coding-Capable one is the 1003 / 7026). Aaaand... there's none of such Thunderbolt X0XX-C ever existed. The only weird / bizzare / interesting Thunderbolt variant I've ever found is the Train Horn 1003, Thunderbolt 2000 (P/S : Pssst, someone, picture please?) and the Kuwait's System 7000 (that I was suprised to see an outside-US-and-American-Made siren, followed by a UK Whelen Vortex / 4004).
P/S/S : Or am I just left behind the info?

C Series Thunderbolts existed. C doesn't mean a thing, it's just the third major revision to the siren, notably with the vertical 4M roots blower assembly (not the entire blower let's just make that clear.). Some if not all C series Thunderbolts also used 1003 rotators because of Federal wanting to clear their stock. So yes, there are Thunderbolt 1000/Ts that are C series. And there were up until the product was pulled from production. The rest of the stuff you said doesn't make any sense at all.

There are four major types of Thunderbolts:
A1: 1951-1958. 6M blower, originally single tone only. Dual tone would come out around '54 or 5.
A2: First revision, 1959 to 1980: 5M and 4M blowers.The most common type of thunderbolt.
B Series: Offset horn, direct drive rotator, vertical 4M blower.
C Series: see A2, but some 1000/Ts had 1003 rotators, and they too had vertical blowers.

Anyways, thanks for correcting me, Jared and Mr. Chem.
Just if you're not noticed, do you read my P/S/S?
But let's not get this topic gets drifted away from its topic.
