Rare fire alarms.

How about we put in models of rare alarms. I know a few. Standard electric light plates, Standard Electric remote lights, Simplex 2904s, Simplex 2903 dual bulb, Simplex 4901-9001 light plates, Wheelock EHS with the 7002T style strobe on top, and the Gamewell pulls like NewAgeServerAlarm has in his mini system test 11.

Here’s a rare alarm.

Gamewell discontinued them, maybe 100 or so years ago. Not that many remain…

What is it?

It’s a Gamewell repeater. It relays the alarm signal from the masterboxes.

BTW, I meant this as a joke.

Oh

How is it a joke

I think I have a few pictures of alarms that would fall in that category. :slight_smile:

I never seen a duel action 270-spo

Here’s some stuff that’s a bit on the rarer side in my collection (rare meaning it’s not seen in buildings too often and not many people have one)

Here is an alarm I have in my collection that’s on the rare side

I was looking at the third one since I remember the one you had (Honeywell rebranded)

Also, to add to the list:
Federal Signal FSS660 (or something like that)
United Security Products FHS24 horn/strobe (7002 knockoff)

I’ve got two more,
Executone C3002 pull stations (they were in the WTC complex 1972-1993).
System Sensor MASS with the electromechanical tone (newageserveralarm has one with about 8 new tones).

System sensor MASS are fairly comon

Destin, what is the Wheelock “slow whoops”?

Are you referring to the http://jjinc24.info/collection/system-sensor/maeh24m System Sensor MAEH?

Its a MASS with a frosted strobe :smiley:

Here is a rare one I got on Friday:

The black and red version of the 4050 pull station.
This one is model 4051-001T.

Also, two generations of canned smoke from GE / ESL.

The black and red pull station is in great condition!

I have those same pull stations in my church
