Not saying they are impossible or extremely difficult to find.

You would have a slim chance of finding one in nyc, or in Chicago

Nice! Looks like this is a 4006.
I have seen multiple full MXL-V systems in Chicago. Many have been upgraded to a Cerberus PRO or Desigo FSM, but some definitely still remain. 1N Wacker Dr. (UBS Tower) used to have an MXL-V, but was recently upgraded.

Sorry, I was kinda grouping the FireFinder XLS with the Cerberus PRO and Desigo FSM

No, it’s fine, when MXL-V’s first started getting replaced, firefinders were the replacement panel, also some MXL-Vs were installed in the 2000s, till 2013, which means some MXL-Vs are still alive!

So I done some further research and apparently a company named ASAP did every fire alarm system for Mingo County Schools including Williamson PK-8 presumably.
I found their website and under their past projects I selected the drop-down for “Educational” and they said they had done some projects there.

That’s nice that they seem to stick with one company. That makes it a lot easier.
My school district has never been very consistent. They have always tended to just go with the cheapest option that seems to be decent. Throughout the 50’s-70’s, they used Standard Electric Time and Simplex systems. In the 80’s-90’s, they used mostly Cerberus Pyrotronics and Edwards/EST, with a couple of Simplex systems. In the 2000’s and 2010’s, they used almost exclusively Simplex, with one Siemens system. Nowadays, they have been going between Autocall and Siemens. The neighboring district also had a similar mix, but they have settled on Siemens for all of the new systems in the last 10-15 years.

I find it interesting how many voice systems use recordings of Edwards horns. Some EST voice evac systems use a recording of an integrity, and I know that at least Kidde, Edwards, and Fike use Genesis recordings.

Well, in 2019 that high school building was replaced with a nice new one that I appeared at today as K-O the Kangaroo as part of kicking off celebrating Stoughton’s tricentennial this year!
The new Stoughton High has a Mircom voice-evac system; I didn’t see the panel but there were a few annunciators around, including the model with a built-in microphone so faculty and firefighters can make on-the-spot announcements over the alarm system. The alarm signals are Wheelock E50 speaker/strobes, along with Wheelock Exceder ST remote strobes for additional visual coverage, and outside one of the entrances I saw a Wheelock ET70WP speaker/strobe. There are also Mircom MIX-2251B smoke detectors in all the appropriate areas, but I didn’t see any pull stations.
I was surprised to see they went the Mircom route with this school; I figured they would’ve stuck with Notifier, or go with EST the way numerous new schools in the Greater Boston area built since the late 1990s have (though the “new” Autocall has quickly been getting popular in that field here, too!)

Super Intresting! AH with a RSS, I’m wondering if the AH was a replacement device because there were 7002ts here, and the RSS was added, The classic was also in this same building.

Very Nice! Mircom is also starting to get common in NYC, and some parts of NJ, Do you have any idea what the tone & message is?
