The Siren Board

Today, I decided to make the drive to the town of Yatesville, GA to help out with a Thunderbolt installation. Prior to today, the town had a Model 7, but as of today, they have a Thunderbolt. Even though the 7 still remains, it will be coming down soon. It was hard work, but in the end, it was well worth it.

Onto the pictures:

The 7


Nice homage to JeffCo, KY

A job well done, if you ask me!


Blower, RCM, and stuff when I arrived.

ID tag, yay!


And lastly, just for grins, I decided to pay a visit to the 1000 in The Rock, also put up by Ian and Jeb, might I add.

Enjoy!

What is Yatesville going to do with that Model 7 after they remove it, do you know?

Another great installation, as usual from the siren guys down south.

The FD is keeping it for some reason. I'm not exactly clear on that reason, though.

As always, another fantastic restoration! Can't wait to hear it in action!

Looks Beautiful! Is this a 1000 or 1000T?

1000T.

What chopper level will this Thunderbolt be set to? I'd set it to level 1 if it were me
Your soil is much more "red" compared to the dark black clay we have around here. Iron ore perhaps?

Chopper 7.

Nope, I put it on 6 when I wired it up this afternoon.

All I can say is just wow. You guys do a really awesome job on restoring these sirens and installing them. :thup: Is there a video of it?
