Tucson Arizona siren graveyard

I pretty much explain everything in the video. When the city of Tucson removed there sirens, this is where they went. Now they just sit here and rot. The pile consists of SD-10's and thunderbolt 1000's.
I just wish there were more folks around here who loved sirens as much as I do. Then we could give a few of the old beasts a proper and caring home.
I counted at least 14 sirens. There may be more buried underneath the others, Its hard to tell.
EDIT: After having so many people asking me for the exact location I though I should add this here.
If you go to www.googlemaps.com and enter these coordinates in to the search bar, it will show you exactly where this place is.

So sad, so many sirens just sitting there unused... Thankfully moisture isn't that big of a problem, therefore minimal rust! What are they going to do with them all?

@airplane564 10 лет назад

I have a few questions: How long are they? Is it free? What kind of equipment do you need to get one? What size truck should I use?

@Tigers9596 8 лет назад

No way it is free.

@SRT-Colton 2 месяца назад

Yeah they never pay. You gonna have to pay like 200-1000$

@brokensolarpanel2649 8 лет назад

Actually, I don't think they're rusted. The one that rotated manually probably had its gears stripped. The ones that were "stuck" we're probably because the rotators of thunderbolts are specially designed not to be able to be rotated manually. Also, you should have gotten a 1000T. They sound way cooler than the 1000s.

@ravensight1 6 лет назад

broken solar panel well if you want one, there is some in Tucson and Phoenix.

@ObamaTookMyCat 6 лет назад

exactly, especially considering the fact that thunderbolt reduction gears used worm gears, which are impossible to rotate against.

I just checked at the site, and ALL of the Thunderbolts are gone. Looks like the guy that took apart mine was trying to get it for him or herself. Glad I got one before it's too late. Also all the Blowers are gone now too.

@lumpysnake 15 лет назад

I have no idea what their intentions are. Im assuming they are just going to scrap them. There are a few mounting poles with no siren attached so maybe they scraped those or someone took them.

@lumpysnake 14 лет назад

@Tboltmaniac I wondered where that thing went. Its gotta weigh about 500 lbs how did you move it?

Dude, just got my 1003A, it's AWESOME.

@flyoversirens3704 6 лет назад

How did you get a big city like that to talk to you about doing business like that? Also how did they price your TBolt.

@chicagolandhobby 15 лет назад

you're rotator's rusted, did you try soaking everything in WD-40? it's supposed to loosten rusted parts.

@minkyblack 15 лет назад

that is unbelievably sad that they throw those wonderful old sirens out there to rust away...what a shame...sure hope you can get more of the parts, plus the rotating head..

@lumpysnake 15 лет назад

Lol damn your quick at responding. Moisture is actually a bit of a problem. I think at one point the area these sirens are located in flooded. The interior of my siren is so horribly rusted. It wont rotate anymore and the chopper was rusted to the head cap.

@murrfarms 15 лет назад

Ohh ok. Yeah I'd bet someone else got a hold of a couple of them as well. I know I'd sure love to get a hold of one of those T-bolts before they're gone, rotating or not!

@lumpysnake 15 лет назад

Heh, thanks *Blushes* I really wish some folks would come down and give these things a good home.

@murrfarms 15 лет назад

Lol I guess I just caught it right after you posted it. Oh wow, I guess they look better on the video than they really appear in real life. So is the city/county just going to leave them there to rust away or do they eventually plan to do something with them?

@BellyJae 15 лет назад

Thats so sad their just sitting there :( So many communites could be using these sirens. BTW, your cute :D

@Zackmemertons 5 лет назад

@bloo96 15 лет назад

3:30 is the one I picked up, It was actually already disasembled for me! you have something to do with that? Also it does rotate, I played with the rotator engine for a while, and its turning great.

@bloo96 15 лет назад

You betchya. So how did you manage to get that T-bolt? did you have to pay for it? I would love to get one myself, but the only problem is I have nowhere to put it. I hate living in an apartment.

@RaisedLetter 11 лет назад

I have two questions. 1. Do you have to pay for one? 2. Do they just let you take it and are there people there who'd help with a forklift or something like that?

@TSMD 9 лет назад

We just went out there tonight, there isn't much left of them. They are near a wash just discarded so I don't think you will get in trouble for taking any. We got a door off a control panel

@arizonawarningsirens6067 4 года назад

I have one of Tucson’s SD10s and it must have been struck by lightning, because the motor was completely black and the windings were all tangled

@lumpysnake 4 года назад

If you still need a motor, contact Werden Electric in Cincinnati OH. Last I heard, he has many siren parts still available for purchase. He's refurbished and installed older sirens around me.

@lumpysnake 15 лет назад

They are 1000's. Probably should have mentioned that. As for the blower pipes, those are pretty thick to me blower pipes. I think its a combination of mounting pole and blower pipe. Not sure why it is still all attached.

Yes they are, however the proper term is "Civil Defense" siren. They are commonly used now to warn for bad weather.

No there is shaft that the outside of the siren rotates around. Water has gotten into it and it has damn near welded itself together.

If you look directly south of the sirens you will see a couple of buildings. At about 4PM the folks at the "Highway department" show up for work. You need the ask the Boss if you can have one. Im not sure what would happen if you just took one, but i would play it safe and ask first.
