heck yes smoke is.

is it still in use?.
-
Did you report this?

I know P-50's have loud motors, but this one sounded bad. I think when they "refurbished" it, they just buffed it to a shine and that's it. That, or they did a piss poor job on rewinding the motor.

@hen7713 i noticed when this p50 started up , it looked like smoke coming out of the horn and then when the p50 was facing the other direction you heard the electric hum

@ACAPenetrator50: yeah. oh jeez i just remembered a few years ago in the summer, the sirens kept going off at random on a day in the middle of the week. i was just walkin home from the local gas station, and every five minutes, a 2 second tornado siren would go off and stop. The weather wasnt even close to tornado weather. it was just a normal sunny day.

@stevechambers500 Yeah, I think the motor couldn't take it any longer
-
@ACAPenetrator50: oh I see. sounds like it was struggling to stay on.
ouch! poor P-50. which one was this at? Snap-on?

@amtrak3501 Yes, however this is the first time it was tested (it's a refurbished unit).

Either that motor just took a shit, or the motor starter did. Never heard one do that before, strange... Liking the HD, looks good!
