Re: I finally got my hands on a Thunderbolt!!

Thanks!! It's a 1000. I'm just going to restore it and it'll be part of my collection. I have over 70 sirens at the moment! Big and small. Someday I should take photos of all of them and share on here. The Subaru was sandwiched in between two trucks last year during a snow storm. It was a great car!...

I finally got my hands on a Thunderbolt!!

I just bought a Thunderbolt 1000 220v 3 phase from a crane company that removed it from St Johnsbury VT 5 years ago. I'll have to get a phase converter someday. They said it was from the St Johnsbury fire dept but I can't find any photos of it. I found it in the list of CD funds here. https://thesir...

Re: Why do ASC T-128s Rotate in Different Directions?

All you do to change rotation is swap the wires to the rotator. They run on 48 volt dc. I'm not sure why they would need different rotations though. I have a few T-128s for sale if anyone is interested.

Re: My New W.S. Darley Champion Siren

Wow, nice! I don't know if anyone else owns one of these yet. I didn't know they were only 1.5HP. I'd guess it'd be on about the same level as the Little Giant. Can you make out the "Type" on the ID plate? To me it looks like 4 A 3/4 U. Not sure what that means. You got this from Clintond...

Re: My New W.S. Darley Champion Siren

It spins freely, it needs to be rewired so it's untested.

My New W.S. Darley Champion Siren

I just got a 1920s W.S. Darley Champion siren from an old firehouse in Clintondale NY. It even came with a newspaper article with a photo of the siren mounted in the cupola in 1926!

Re: Federal Model 28 Siren Restoration

If i remember right, There was a set screw on the part that rotates. Remove that set screw and use a gear puller to remove the part that spins. Be careful not to apply that much pressure to that part though.
