Re: Federal 2001:DC Graphic in high quality?

I have an early 2001-DC "roundback" that still has decent original decals on it. If you would like some actual measurements of the decal dimensions or character dimensions let me know.

Re: New Guy with a Thunderbolt!

Pima County (Tucson), Arizona did have similar Thunderbolt installations with the maintenance platform on top of the pole, but they plumbed the blower directly into the pole for air delivery. If I remember correctly the pole gradually reduced in size from around 10 inch pipe at the bottom to a three...

Re: New Guy with a Thunderbolt!

I find it very interesting that you said it is a Thunderbolt 2000 from Federal Sign and Signal. I didn't think that they made 2000's that late. All of the 2000's known were all from Federal Enterprises of the mid 1950's prior to the company name change. With that steel pole and platform type of set ...

Re: I won a 4/5 Port Thunderbolt!

Very nice! Good score at a good price. I was going to ask the seller if they would sell just the RCM panel and enclosure. After it got bids I changed my mind. The RCM panel looks to be in very nice condition. It is in the rarer indoor enclosure. A Federal Sign & Signal, Chicago 19 Thunderbolt wi...

Re: new stickers

Re: Federal 2001 Motor Horsepower?

Thanks for the information. I was considering retrofitting one to an SD-10 rotor and stator. I was just wondering if it would have enough umph to spin it.

Federal 2001 Motor Horsepower?

Does anyone know the horsepower rating for the Federal Signal 2001 DC siren motor? I contacted one of the motor manufacturers and they couldn't give me that information off hand. I was told that they had one in for rebuild at the time. Once they were done load testing it they would get back to me. T...

Federal Signal uses Prestolite for the 2001.
