I saw that the other day. He doesn't picture any of the controls or cabinets, and without that he'd be lucky to get $1500

Not to mention, that 6M blower is hell to move. Shipment costs are probably more than the siren is worth. :lol:

It's funny a lot of us thought that... but the more research all of us do they are less common than thunderbolts without Jailbars but they seem to have quite a few. Heck I found one in the PNW that as of like... 2014? Was running for the fun of it.

The big vented blower boxes were from the 50s I believe.

Only on the 2000 models though. The standard 1000s had a run of the mill blower box. Nothing special, it was just a box.

The vented boxes were used for the 4M blowers and the 2000s. The 5 and 6M blowers I do not believe we're vented.

The only blower box with a vent on the side is the 2000 blower box. The standard A1 and early A2 blowers did not have any vents. The later A2, B, and C series thunderbolts all have vents on the end.

On the SIDE. I totally missed that. Sorry. Yes 2000 had vents on the side. And the 4M had it on the back... I think I explained and am with everyone now XD
