Awesome video. So this is the only operational Detroit Thunderbolt (as of now)?

@mohkfry The other ones that do work for now are Taft School, Vernor school, 7 mile and ryan, Engine 47 (the one I recorded already) There may be a few others, but how much longer the old will work with the new is not certin.

Nothing better than a good ole T-Bolt...unless you're deaf as a post, you'll hear them for sure...and if you're too close you might be deaf as a post!!

@carexpertandy working or not, there are at least 9 that I can think of right now still in the city

That's the first Tbolt I've ever heard of that was mounted through the roof with the blower inside the building...I bet that blower is extremely loud in there.

@LouisvilleTorn8o there are 2 in the city of detroit like this. the one in madison Heights, mi is mounted thru the roof.

@el1998p71 Isn't the one in Madison Heights the same one you recorded a while back, which was replaced by a 2001-130?

So that's the 1000T or 1000 Convertee. Isn't that school by Rouge Park. Great recording by the way.

@Ouranos94 the siren was put in in 1964, it may have been ordered that way. all the 1950's installs are 1000's (supposed to be by the records I have.

@el1998p71 How did you know when Detroit's thunderbolt were installed.

@97Siren I have DetroitCivil Defense Inventory Purchase records for about 6000 items, In that group I have records for 14 of the 41 sirens installed from 1956-1972, and 12 of the chrysler sirens from 1952

@el1998p71 I see. Maybe it was ordered that way or fitted with a dual tone chipper when they did the Y2K fixes. Either, way this siren is a beautiful sounding 1000T. It sounded so smooth from where I was at. It carried better than the 2001-SRNB that's on Engine 55.
