Speaker strobes at a 5-Below? Is it
possible they were horn strobes? The ceiling mount horn strobes and speaker strobes look the same.

NYC DAY 1 part 2

[TheCarson116]

Found a quite-old Edwards system huh? Neat (I actually have one of those bells myself: in fact, it was the very first commercial device I ever obtained).

[Matthew_Kight]

I did some real estate browsing…

[TheCarson116]

Wow that’s an old system going by the devices. Great find! (& of course yet another one that should definitely be saved if possible)

You found that via real estate though? Does that seriously mean that that system is in a residential house!?

[Matthew_Kight]

It was in an apartment building built in 1920.

[NEOhistoryfan101]

maybe send those photos over to Glenn of Old School Fire Alarms and he might be able to identify them

The internals are different, however the housing/appearance of the devices are the same. The only way to see if the device is a horn strobe or speaker strobe is to look in the little hole that will say “HORN” or “SPKR”. Here’s what they both look like

[TheTornadoSirenFan]

Lee electric 500 pull station

[Tesla_railfaning (Fire Alarms Of South Jersey)]

This is at my cousins school, just your basic Silent Knight 5208 system, with advances, and sd500 pull stations.

[TheCarson116]

Forgot to post the photos of it? (heh)

[DesigoFC2025]

hey btw just so you know sd500 does not work with 5208

[TheCarson116]

Yeah: it might be the similar-looking IntelliKnight SK-5808 or IntelliKnight SK-5820XL instead, which are both addressable & thus can work with the SD500-series.
