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?

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.
