My vintage goodies

It is indeed a NATSCO product, a little history behind the “64 Signals” theory. This would be connected to a certain model of a coded Natsco FACP with the Code 4-4-4-4, the term comes from the total blasts of the horns, a complete round of 4-4-4-4 “all four rounds” would equal of a total of 64 blasts. That’s when NATSCO termed it as “64 Signals”

Oh okay, I see, & that would make sense since panels made back in the 60s & such would very often do Code 4-4-4-4. How do you know for sure that that drill station is NATSCO though? Is there a logo somewhere on it that those photos don’t show?

The model is unknown but this is a legitimate Natsco product, almost every Detroit Public School had these bc majority of their systems were coded Natsco systems. These would be located in every main office while the FACP being in the boiler room.

National Time 620M pull station castings from Natsco themselves.

NOS Faraday “wind-up” round coded pull station WITH original key ring! Never used before it doesn’t even have a code stamped out on the coding badge. The code is 4-4.

How & where you get this stuff I’ll never know, but very nice indeed! (especially that supposedly-unknown-model Faraday coded pull: that thing looks like it just rolled off the assembly line! (though then again if it was supposedly never used it kinda is, heh)

My Simplex 4259-29 “Pyrotector Smoke Sentinel”

Nice! That Simplex-rebranded version I’m sure is quite hard to find in particular!

What exactly is that black thing above the Simplex logo?

Said friend mentioned throughout this thread by Seth here, I’d like to show you these are in fact NATSCO, this is a slightly different variant, however it’s nearly identical. Fellow TFP user Kevtistic has one. His is model 6110F, I can’t recall the model of Seth’s currently but it is similar.
