Hello everyone,
I am a firefighter in upstate NY. Before I got on the job, I purchased an older Gamewell fire alarm box from ebay, probably in 2006 or so. It sat for a long time, until I went and got it powder coated for eventual display in my home. The hinge pins for the door were broken off and I sent the door out to be repaired.
Unfortunately, the guy who has the door has gone MIA, and I have a partially finished fire alarm box that I would really like to enjoy. In my search on ebay, it appears that finding parts of older call boxes is difficult unless I want to buy a whole new box.
In my research today, I found this forum and joined. Lots of interesting info and I was intrigued to find a buy/sell/trade forum. SO, I am here looking to see if anyone out there would happen to have the part I am looking for.
The box model I think is Peerless. I am not sure if I need an iron door or aluminum as I don’t remember if the original door said herculite on the bottom. I would need the complete door, keyhole cover, and quick pull handle with the intact spring.
I found an old ad online that shows the model:
If anyone could help me find this part so I can finally complete this project, I would really appreciate it. A PM or a reply to this thread would be fine.
Thanks,
Joe
