I remember on the old forum someone made a model P50 or 2001 or something that actually sounded a recording when their weather radio made an alert. I decided to make a P50 also out of PVC pipe and a Radio Shack recording module... went well until I forgot to bring it over here to my dorm >.<

I also remember a real model of a Thunderbolt 1000 that was not a recording, it actually had a blower and a teeny tiny rotor/stator unit. Very cool, I would pay anything to get that thing. It would be helpful to get my roommate up in the mornings >.<

You are right.

Elliot made a T-128 and it sounded when the weather radio did.

Also, the Thunderbolt (if its the one and only) is a model 1000T (I think).

Eric Green made that and you can see it on this page.

The siren. The 1000T is in the picture to show the size of the siren.

I am thinking that I am going to get some sheet metal fabricated for it to make it more real looking.

Yeah, I still have my siren, but I have to repair the "mount" of the speaker. My cats got pissed off when I left for Myrtle Beach for 10 days ( even though they were fed) and apparently broke the dowel rod at a weak point , so I have to redrill it and remount the 1/4 " headphone jack that holds the "siren head".
