If someone at federal who remembers the first thunderbolt still worked there they'd be nearly 90. People can point to other people. Paperwork tracks everything. That siren probably had a build receipt, an insurance policy being a demo unit, waybills tracking where it went and at least an asset tag....

Ah finally... Well pity that it didn't rotate, but at least that is something. These sirens are notorious for their failed rotators. They were poorly made and not very well thought out. I wouldn’t necessarily say that they were poorly made, as there are still some in service after 50 years...Rather...

Wow, a Blasty sighting! How the hell are ya?!

Darley is a legit company that’s been around 90+ years...
Fun fact, if you drive down I-290 in Itasca, Illinois, their building is visible from the highway with their name and logo.

Sounds great! Love that reverb especially on the Attack cycle!

It is possible that whatever 9/12 port siren that was heard, could have been one of the P-10/15’s that were part of the Exelon Nuclear system. Though I’m not sure if they only had single-tone sirens or not.

Not sure if it’s still there, but there is/was a Soundmaster 125 in Wilburton, OK.

Hmm, I thought I saw somewhere that they were installed in the 1970’s. Could be wrong though.

I’m sure Braniff will get the job, and 2001’s will go up.

8/12. Soundmaster.
