The Siren Board

Does anyone know why the Model 2 Siren no longer has the dual tone option? How long ago did they do away with it if they did? Are the thunderbolt 1000 T's and the Model 2 T's hard to come by? I thought of restoring one of the two, preferrably the thunderbolt 1000T. If one or the other cannot be found, is it possible to take a chopper from a model 2 T and put it in a thunderbolt 1000 in order to make it a T? I prefer the dual tone because of it's haunting effect.

I got a 2T at it's date code was 1976 the same date code year as the 2T22 That I got with it

There is no more 2Ts being made because one port row left the other row slightly inefficient. And the ports were a lot smaller, height wise. That made the model 2T quieter than the Model 2. And it was also harder to manufacture a single chopper with two port rows.
Yes, 1000T models do have the choppers of the 2T range.

Archon,

where did you find the date code on each siren? particularly your 2t22?? is it stamped on the motor housing somewhere? I could'nt find one.........

Federal Signal said the date code I sent was meaningless - the 2t22s
did not have date codes.

If incorrect, I'd sure like to determine when our 2t22 was made.

Any ideas?

Only some 1000T's have that. A vast majority of 1000T's have the 5/6 port rotor.
