Ex-Minneapolis MN on chopper 7. Blower is also running a bit faster than normal. But this thing really sounds beautiful with the blower. Awesome video.
this siren has a 6M blower and is super loud at about 124 DB at 100 FT. the 1003 was also rated for 124 DB at 100 FT. but the 1000 was rated for 126 DB at 100 FT.
awesome and quite interesting restored 50s bolt!.. and sounds like chopper level 7 to me.. also.. whats with that little ring under the front of the horn ??
@@matthewwalker8197 that’s because it has a 6M blower. That blower is more powerful, and pumps more air into the siren than your traditional 4M that you see typically everywhere else. The 6M blower is what was used before the 4M came out. It is the original blower that federal made, and thus hard to come by. That’s why it sounds higher pitched.
It's kind of cool because the high tone is the same as a 5/6 bolt on the standard level 5. You could say it's at the same pitch with a different interval
I don't like the higher pitched level of the Thunderbolt Siren when it goes way higher than chopper level 4, but neither the less - good to see it in a good shape :)
Nice video! I really like the sounds of these old 4/5 Port Thunderbolts. Looks like they did a great job refurbishing this one too. Why is there white paint splatters on the top of the horn?
@xpwindows9895 Vista The next SMA will be a while; I currently have a lot on my plate at college, so I'll have to put it into the back burner for the time being. Don't worry, It'll be great!
Iowan Siren Recordings Wait, so there are two bumble bolts like this in Georgia? I remember there is a 5/6 painted like this in this same county or somewhere around there
Hmmm if its on 5 then it must be reversed wired but its not since it has that very raspy tone to it. But it dosent sound like 5 at all. Sounds like 7 but correct me if im wrong.
The name "bumblebolt" is just a nickname. It was never officially called "bumblebolt" by federal, and all thunderbolts, regardless of paint jobs, are thunderbolts.
Someone should film this with a black and white film camera
Ohh... that would be pretty damn cool.
Why
How about VHS?
Still is lookin good glad they did not replace the bolt. Just needs a little cleaning on the horn and the screen. 'Birds'.
V1STAA The second Reported.
Love thunderbolts!!!
I absolutely love this thunderbolt, maybe one of these days i'll drive the 3 hours and 45 minutes up to georgia to film it.
I love how the 5/6 thunderbolts sound like mean ferocious beast and the 4/5 ones sound more nice and considerate.
I love 5/6 thunderbolts more but 4/5s are cool

Because someone liked it, so they put a ring on it.

Niiccee! also what is that ring hanging by the bottom of the horn? and man this sucker roars!
@Sirens & Thunderbolts 1003: I don't know.
It's a tie down ring we used to keep the horn from swinging while we transported it down the road. It also holds the lower screen bracket in place.
@@Blue10AEMia oh ok that explains the ring by the horn.
@@TrainsAndSirens1 the ring is just the part place to connect the blower to the rotator vbox

4/5

sounds more of chopper 6 than chopper 5

Ask Jeb McCraine
Wow that’s a high pitched for 4/5 port tbolt
Its on chopper level 7. Its the highest one. Its cool that you can change brush speeds on it.
It's kind of cool because the high tone is the same as a 5/6 bolt on the standard level 5. You could say it's at the same pitch with a different interval
it akshully 32/81 ports raito

Yes. Supposedly the one from the video titled “Thunderbolt 1000T Alert/Attack Test 5”
Hello TrainsAndSirens1, the other bumblebolt was installed in June 14, 2014
Reverse wired or high chopper level?
It's not reversed wired. 1). The chopper is set to 6. 2). This is using a 6M Blower.
High chopper level.
The damn thing’s set to level 5. I really don’t know why it’s so high pitch.
this is actualy chopper level 7 listen to a 4/5 thunderbolt set to chopper 6
@@amberlynn6914 probably more voltage than it needs for chopper 5

ShadowCuber34x Yep..
Never seen 4/5 port before!
I think this is on chopper level 7 and chopper 6 is slightly lower pitched than this. But anyways nice video as always!!!!😁
5
Hmmm if its on 5 then it must be reversed wired but its not since it has that very raspy tone to it. But it dosent sound like 5 at all. Sounds like 7 but correct me if im wrong.
@@SouthCarolinaSirens it's not reverse wired obviously. I worked on this siren three months ago
@@Blue10AEMia yes i figure it wasnt reversed wired but i dont know whats up with it being on 5 and sounding like 7.
If this is 5, then what on earth does 7 sound like? I genuinely believed that this was 7 until Jeb over here said otherwise
The birds must have thought this was a porta potty that really sucks.
I live the throaty buzz of 4/5, it sounds like a mini hurricane
It's a BumbleBolt!
A blast from the past.
Beautiful! Nice job.
