Siren Craziness In Fort Worth!

Is it being converted into a 1000B (single phase)?

I'm with you, I am interested to see what becomes of the 1000. I am going to guess the Thunderbolt will be kept as an all original 1000, but I am only just taking a blunt guess. Not many people own gridfaced thunderbolts, hence peaking my interest in it's future.

I plan on keeping it the way it is since they're not very many of these sirens around so i would like to try and keep it as close to original as I can.

Are you gonna paint it yellow or make it a bumble or blunderbolt. I personally would make it a bumblebolt but that's just my opinion.

I'm not sure yet, but in the near future it will be cleaned up and kept in its current state, until the temps warm up, i get more time, and more money become available.

To get back on track, Since these two sirens (The Allertor and Gridfaced 1000) were taken down, what all remains in Fort Worth as far as the old siren system is concerned?

I know of a handful of Thunderbolts (maybe 7 or 8?) still in place, one or two P-10s, one sth-10 and that's about it, although I'm sure mixerbd would have a better idea than me.

Is it the 1000 that's rare or is it the jailbar and/or both that's rare?

[Tyler]

Just jail-bars in general.

Jailbar 1000s were the most common original (chopper cap not changed) Jailbars. Its actally a lot rarer to get an original 1000T Jailbar; the only original one known was the 17th and Gow St. 1000T in Whichita, KS (I can send you the link if you PM me).
On topic, I have a very elaborate color scheme if I ever get my hands on a Thunderbolt, but its your siren, so do whatever with it. What condition do you suppose the chopper motor's in, given all the wear and tear and not running in years?

That siren in Wichita was not original. It was a 5/6, they didn't have the 5/6 when the jailbar was made.
