Tested my tbolts chopper today.

It was only a growl too... Couldn't run it up very much due to noise. It has been a year since her chopper ran. She was sitting up on a pole in Waldport oregon in 2012 then right in 2013 she was silenced, taken down and given a new home. (And daddy meee!!!!) Anyways here is the video. No I did not use the blower because I do not have it. And like I said noise. Anyways enjoy the video! (Forgive me for the over excitement to... It was the first time in many years I heard a tbolt and she wouldn't sound at first... That was my bad.)

Hey, at least it works!

Just out of curiosity, do you know what year it was made?

[coastalsyrolover]

Yea it was sometime in the early 60s according to an old article I read from Spokane (Where these sirens were before Waldport.) It also had the early A2 5M blower.
