I would love to buy a 4050-80
A Simplex 4207/4208. The only 4207 on EBay right now is way too big for my needs, and is over $1,000… Uffda.
Jeez! Oofda is right.
Same here! May be getting a system of 411Fs soon though!
A Simplex 2903-9001, yup.
I live in the EU so it’s generally a pain to get these shipped and by the time I have enough money someone else has probably already sniped the eBay listing.

A Simplex 4100ES/4100U
It’s too proprietary anyway. You need special software to program it, and only simplex technicians have access to it.

Yeah that is what I and so many collectors don’t like about simplex
Definitley a Simplex 2001, an Edwards 6700 voice control, or an Edwards/EST ESA-2000 with voice control.
The only Edwards 6700 I’ve seen was at my mom’s work (a 70s nursing home). It had a Edwards 6500 with single stroke bells, and then the 6700 with speakers for voice paging/fire telephones. They replaced it, and funny enough my company does service work for them now, it is a Vigilant VM panel with speakers throughout.
We had an old arena that had an ESA-2000 with voice control. We replaced it with a Vigilant VS panel, and added a few horns and disconnected the speakers. The old setup had speakers everywhere, with Edwards strobes mounted around as well.
I’ve never seen a Simplex 2001 yet. But would love to add one to my collection.

Getting access would require a lot of technical skill and be rather difficult, but it’s probably not impossible. Here’s someone who’s tried (but we unfortunately haven’t heard any recent updates.)
I been wanting a 2903 for a while now but due to how eBay prices are, that’s never gonna happen unless I find a place that has them (couldn’t even find a single building with 2903s) that either getting demolished or getting its system is getting replaced. Maybe if someone around me is selling there collection (which I highly doubt). Same deal with 4050-80s and 4051s. If people continue to buy these 2903s for insane prices, then the only enthusiasts would get them would be enthusiasts that have a high amount of Money to afford it or manged to get lucky in a trade
Honestly, I would like a Simplex 2120. These are a PAIN to find and get working. But I also collect retro electronics and do breadboarding. If I ever find one to keep, I would probably have the experience with flashing chips and even have an old Terminal to interface with it!
Yeah I want a simplex light plate too, but there too expensive
I know that feel, I’d really love myself to get a Simplex 2001 (or hell, maybe even a 4001!) or an Ansul Autopulse 2000 (in fact, I nearly got one but at the time didn’t have a bank account…)… And besides if you put aside the eye-wateringly expensive import costs, there’s the problem of the power supply on these being 110V/120V and since in Europe we use 240V… That is going to be a bit of an issue. (well except on the AP2000 which has a PSU that can be jumpered to run on 240V).
I’ve seen a few FireLite panels that have a 240V PSU from the get go, but at prices that are way beyond what I can afford… Unfortunately.
Alexis,
Too bad you’re not in the states. I have an Autopulse 2000 panel that you can have, but the shipping would be prohibitive. I removed it a few years ago from a working system. Probably have the detectors that were with it too.

The power supply issue can be resolved by using a travel converter.

Pilot,
I appreciate the kind offer, but as you said, given the shipping is going to be a financial killer, if I may ask, I’m curious to know roughly expensive it’ll be.
@randomperson - Yup, that’s exactly what I was thinking of doing should I ever get such a panel, maybe even getting a old stepdown/isolation transformer and concealing it in a external battery enclosure 
I will need to weigh the panel and then you can see what shipping would be from my zip code to yours.

An est genesis. I find the appearance quite interesting.
Why can’t you get a genesis. There like so common
