Sorry for the late post…

But a few years ago I found that old Faraday incadescent fire light below a 5640. I don’t know if the original photo is still available, but it’s a device I don’t even know the Mod. No. of.

Is the Simplex 4020 considered rare? The middle school I went to had (has?) one.

The 4020 isn’t really that rare. In other words it’s not uncommon for a larger 90s/00s building. It’d be uncommon in small buildings and in certain non-Simplex areas

It’s rare where I’m from. Edwards was very dominant in my area and anything else you would find other is pretty rare. I think I have serviced 1 4020 in my 7 years of being a fire technician.
