It looks like a mix between an AV32 and a 4050-8X. Your thoughts?
I’d assume it’s either a Faraday or Simplex device, given what he said in the description, but I’m not sure. Very cool either way!
The lens shape makes it appear to be an Edwards device.
I was honestly thinking that too, it reminds me of an Edwards lamp.
It’s most likely a Faraday device, or a rebranded variant.

Green is right, that’s what it is. I’m very jealous! I really want one of those! :mrgreen:
I was talking to him on Youtube, he got it for only 18 DOLLARS at an antique store.
Wow, I love how the flasher fades the light in and out. Reminds me of the Star Trek “red alert” lights.
I like how the word “fire” is all over that one…you think it’s a fire alarm??
Very unique.
Slap a Wheelock ET speaker behind it and play the EST-3 whoop for the best effect!
Actually that whoop you’re talking about is too fast. The one actually used on the show is slower.
Oh well. Maybe then someone could make their own “Star Trek Voice Evac” message using the real Red Alert whoop, and soundbites from the show to give a message.
Yup, that’s definitely a Faraday light plate. I remember seeing something like it at a school in Stoughton I was doing a K-O mascot gig at for a weekend “Family Fun Day.” They were gray, had no “FIRE” lettering, and had a Bliss/Gamewell logo on the bottom. Unfortunately they had classic SpectrAlerts slapped onto them (obviously a cheap upgrade to a newer conventional Silent Knight system) so I don’t know what they would’ve looked like when installed originally (the school was built in 1971, and I’m betting the horns were the old Vibratone 450s they were using at the time.) That version in the video may be a later variant; they were still made until the early or mid-1980s.
