This message is to all Electricians, Fire Alarm Techs, and Demolition contractors. I am looking for vintage Autocall, Simplex, Faraday, Acme, and Standard Electric Time fire alarm control panels that were manufactured in the 1950’s up through the 1970’s. Please see the attached pictures to get a good idea what I am looking for. If you have access to older buildings that are doing upgrades on their fire alarm systems at hospitals, universities, schools and government buildings, there is a good chance you will find some of these older control panels. Many times you will see them in boiler rooms, electric and utility rooms in the lower levels and basements of older buildings. As most of you know, due to current fire safety and building codes, these old control panels can not be repurposed and therefore usually end-up in dumpsters and/or landfills. If you see or know where any of these type of panels are in the attached pictures , please contact me @

Glad you’re doing your part to try & save these pieces of history, because unless people like you do who will?
do you happen to know where the first photo was taken? I would assume it’s some large institutional building with a coded system.
I found an apartment tower in the Highland Square neighborhood of Akron that has a 4208 with 4037 signals from around 1974
