Detroit Michigan Thunderbolt 1000 Test 1-7-12

this thunderbolt reminds me of the sick shawnee ks thunderbolt (i know this isnt sick, btw) at certain points.

I forgot that Taft has a Thunderbolt, and I live nearby! Go figure.

sounds like an stl10b (single phase )

[LouisvilleTorn8o]

That's lower than an STL-10! This thing has to be on level 1. Love that raspy sound!

[Ouranos94]

Such a nice sounding Thunderbolt. I love how low pitched it is.

[timeslip325]

Wow. Lowest pitch i've ever heard on a 1000! Very cool!!

[Blue10AEMia]

Wow, it's almost the same pitch as a STL-10.

[Thewoog34]

@Blue10AEMia That's why chopper level 1 is my favorite for a 1000.

[Blue10AEMia]

@Thewoog34 I think this is the first every video of a 1000 on level 1. I've been wanting to hear a really low pitched 1000 for a long time.

[Thewoog34]

@Blue10AEMia watch?v=lvtAPn1aqQc Ever seen this one? It's also on chopper level 1 but probably just has better brushes.

The STL-10 in attack in the distance is just the creepiest sound to me, and this is as close as you're gonna get to that.

@Blue10AEMia Mine was actually a hair lower than this when I ran it on terminal 3 on 208V. Next time I drag it out, I'll put it on 1. watch?v=2_9Caw84dI4

[Blue10AEMia]

@antiwhoknows Ian said you had ran it on level 1 already but didn't take a video

[antiwhoknows]

@Blue10AEMia Not with the blower.

Sounds almost like the one i recorded in August

[Siren1000T1]

It's pretty rare to find a lower pitched 1000. Great video!
