Finally time I get around to showing most my collection (not including misc parts for stuff) alongside posting updates on what I acquired. I have been collecting since October of 2024
Starting off with my peripherals:
Next are all of my panels and unfinished projects:
I believe I am the first to be able to obtain parts from the super obscure 4221 panel (I have more parts that aren’t as cool as these including speaker loops and amps, which I can post more pictures of if requested!), including a tape player, which the tape is currently being digitized!
Another 4221 part I forgot to put in the picture above alongside the LSN-200 part. This is different compared to regular 8 zone lights that would normally be attached with a wire harness, this one seems to plug in to a slot. It would also be where you would select which speaker circuit to select

Awesome collection dude!!! I am now wanting to steal all of those!
That’s a very nice collection!
Update 4/10/25
Rather unexpected pickup but is always very welcomed! Got my hands on a 4 bay 4002 earlier today. Not sure why they needed this large of a cabinet for only 8 zones.
Sweet collection! Is the “Control Center” a Notifier or a 4221 part? Also, how did you get the LSN-2000 voice bay?
4221 part, and the bay also came from where I got my 4221 stuff, a ex technician who installed stuff himself in his own company and I suppose he did a couple FireCom panels back then. This particular one was NIB and he let it go for cheap.
Cool, glad to see more FireCom stuff falling into the hands of collectors.
Nice, at least a cabinet of that size allows plenty of room for expansion modules.
Beautiful collection! I’m quite fond of your assortment of smoke detectors; the two units in the middle of the top row are particularly neat finds.
The heat sensor head mounted on a sounder base in the bottom row also caught my eye. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that combination.

Pretty big update incoming;
Recently i’ve started to make way for some bigger and better projects alongside shifting focus to more older conventional panels than addressable. Additionally I have been trying to downsize (I end up with the same amount I previously had lol) which some of you have probably seen come and go on my eBay. Well in return some of those funds have gone towards the acquisition of a 4208, alongside just barely finishing my 2001 project that’s been in the works for months.
I picked this up from my local tech from a recent building system overhaul in Chicago, and what’s cool about it being from Chicago is our fire code is a bit excessive. You can see by the extra amount of buttons present; every trouble lamp has a test button.
Now this project, I was lucky enough to score a cabinet in the beginning firing off months of searching for parts to follow. I secondly would acquire cards from a different place, and the dress panel for another. Recently I finally acquired the bays, harnesses and PSU to complete everything. I haven’t tested it quite yet as I still want to double and even triple check all the connections as these things are confusing as heck in which I learned quick lol. I’ll post an update following with some pictures of it in action!
Those panels are extremely difficult to obtain. Great job!
