1 Thunderbolt would seem like a perfect choice for that kind of town.

But wait a sec... the whole town is less than a mile radius?
Duh, 1. it has a population of 130, 2. look at the map i made, 3. they dont call it a small town for nothing.

On my way to my cousin's graduation yesterday evening, I saw a 1000T in a town with a population of 18-- at least that is what the sign said. In the Midwestern and Central United States, towns are miniscule compared to cities on the east and west coast.

It's good to see that an old siren such as a T-bolt getting a second chance to once again warn people of impending doom. Looks like that T-bolt came right off the factory line (although it didn't) with the Thunderbolt Sticker on the rotator Box and that fresh Civil Defense Yellow paint job.

Yeah, the restoration guy must have done a reeeeeally good job, the thing looks brand-new.

I've once seen a town of 9 people... it was on the side of Lookout Mtn. in Alabama.

Gosh, Tbolts doing towns of 10 in the United States, when here, cities of 5,000-15,000 have a Model 2.

you know this type of thing might lead to an upheaval of tbolts of sorts. Small towns can completely cover their entire area with one of these and they can get it done quite cheaply. So i think this might appeal to the small towns with very low budgets and put back to use some of our old fav sirens.

We have a town down here that is called Northridge, at Lake Alan Henry , and it probably doesn't have a pop of 126, but they will install an Allertor at the fire station thats being built. :D

Whoever did the restoration of that Tbolt did a really nice job. it looks brand new from that picture. With proper care and maintainance that siren should serve them for many years to come.

does anybody know if the T-Bolt is a 1000 or 1000T? (sorry about the late question for an old topic)
