For starters please don't post in all caps, use common knowledge and good grammar!

And odds are it's probably something that was tossed out because it was an old part that was "Not needed anymore". Like if a town had thunderbolts and got rid of them all then found that later they'd just throw it away. That or someone thought it was bad and tossed it not knowing it was good.

Interesting that you just happened to find this in a random dumpster, didn't know what it was, but you knew to come to this very forum to find out. :roll:

It's a dual tone one. Sounds like a Model 2T.
Welcome to the board! Holy crap, I can't believe you scored a 4/5 port Thunderbolt chopper from a dumpster. And to think I spent three years trying to get mine....

What a great find! I wish that every dumpster I saw had a Thunderbolt chopper cap, motor, and chopper!
