I found a really weird looking siren, that shows up as "mystery thing" on the Nebraska siren map. It does seem to have a chopper, so I'm wondering what this siren is: https://earth.google.com/web/@41.49772204,-102.62096105,1067.23730469a,0d,15y,125.48120503h,99.24635731t,0r/data=IhoKFlZDbk...

I just checked, and according to the sterling siren map this is apparently a Sterling 2V8! I have no idea how this could be possible though, the 2V8 is vertical while this is horizontal. This would have to be a heavily modified version of one. if it even is a 2V8.

I don't have a Thunderbolt (yet), but I was still wondering at how you can properly do maintenance and wire the motors correctly. Here are some of my questions: - Is the chopper motor 120v or 240v? - What is the overall amperage and voltage of a fully working Thunderbolt? - can single phase blower m...

Im not sure either. There's another one in Pennsylvania. Look by the radio tower. http://www.jmarcoz.com/sirens/parkesburg.jpg I think that's just an antenna attached to the tower. If you look closely, you can see mounts going from the antenna to the tower, and by the lighting you can kind of tell ...

Here's some more! A Thunderbolt in Berkley, CA. The mounting for this seems kind of overkill: https://earth.google.com/web/@37.89207205,-122.27254801,116.09967041a,0d,42.09204491y,290.92092304h,106.96184601t,0r/data=IhoKFjEwZGJpeUVCcU9SNW5lOXhTLTUyRWcQAjIkCiIKIAocMU9zcVFZU1dtVDFuMHI3WHJhZUdMbVc2a1ps...

I don't think that a mount like that is possible. The Thunderbolt would have to be mounted to the pole, so the whole siren could get support. It could in theory work, as long as the bracket is strong enough. There is another way that some Thunderbolts are mounted, however. The blower pipe goes throu...

I'm not sure that there are any graveyards around california. The closest ones are Goddard Enterprises in Oklahoma & Grain Valley in Montana, but they're still very far away. There is a closer but small graveyard in Arizona, but it's almost only Thunderbolts and some SD-10s in a jumbled mess. H...

There's a 508 in Tioga Center, NY mounted to a tower at a fire station.
