The MKII's were belt-drive, if I remember correctly.

Nice.

Pics/locations?

I took a little trip up to Wisconsin yesterday and on the way back I decided to stop in Clinton to see what the status was of their two Soundmaster 115 sirens. I am happy to report that both of them are still standing and appear to be functional. :) First siren, at the park. missing the top louver: ...

Yep, sure looks like the 90's!

There used to be one (ACA RM-130) at the police station in Hoffman Estates, IL but was relocated when the new police station was built and the old one demolished.

Interesting, any ideas as to when that happened? Haven't been in that area for several months.

Mike, do you have any info about the old siren system? I seem to recall seeing that the last Thunderbolt was taken down around 2005 or so.

A few years ago the one off I-55 near Joliet Rd disappeared...For at least a year, there was a half of a snapped pole still standing. But now it's completely gone.
