If it the Montgomery Ward is the one you are getting then it is the same one my neighbour had. Hers had the squealer horn and it was so loud it could be heard from our house with our TV on. You will have to take pics of it when you get it. I personally think 1970’s smokes were and still are more interesting that todays alarms. Even though I was terrified of the sound the squealer horn made. I still don’t like them today and Im 42 but I wouldn’t freak out like I did when I was little when they went off. But hey that is how effective they were. Piezos don’t sound serious at all to me. Does the smoke guard make a squealer or a buzzing noise. There is also a GE home sentry that does squeal. Im thinking that is the AC one I guess although I always thought AC alarms made more of a buzzing tone than a squealing one.

The 907 makes a https://youtu.be/tfXdbGUy1GI?t=1023 pulating 60 Hz buzz., although https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoiAgX9h-FI This one makes a 120 Hz buzz.
