My new Thunderbolt 1000T-ebay special!!!

Wed May 01, 2013 7:49 pm

Hello everyone! I got the deal of the century on a Thunderbolt 1000T siren head and compressor. I went on a 1,000 mile round trip just to be the proud new owner of one. The restoration is gonna be a slow going process, but I know in the end it will be well worth it.

I had no idea Federal used that style of Lincoln motor on the tbolts. It's the same motor that Arco uses on their phase converters.
