After a long time i return again, i am no longer really into fire alarms, im more into severe weather and storm chasing vehicles now, one thing i can assure you though is i am keeping my collection, i am not doubting that its going to end up in a large box though to make room on my shelf and sit in my attic for 20 years in my future house, then i find it in there covered in dust and cobwebs and set the system back up.
Yeah: admittedly I’m not as dedicated as I once was either, but I’m still sorta collecting & will still be keeping my stuff as well (especially since I’m still doing my part to help preserve life safety devices that would likely end up in a landfill sooner or later).
