The GE H.S. 120v that you have has some VERY unique features! First, it has the earlier sensor with the holes at the top. GameAlarm on youtube said that only the earliest 12.6 volt ones used that sensor. His 120v unit has the common metal sensor with the 3 vents and his also has a regular squealer horn and it had a different model number: 8205-0. Yours has an Edwards horn, which was in the same 12.6v models as the ones with your sensor. My Honeywell has the Edwards horn and its a squealer type horn so that must be a squealer horn (I’ve never seen/heard an Edwards horn that sounds like a FireX for example). Yours must be a rare earlier one! And I suspected that because of the different model number. Also the later rectangular GE was model 8201-401C. Does it do the fast “warble” tone or the 5/6? I suspect some very late ones did the 5/6 rather than the “warble” which was very common for those. SMK6D was Black and Decker’s model. good to see the 4 H.S. series alarms together. Now you just need to find the line-cord plug in model and you’ll have all five! Surprisingly I didn’t catch that GE H.S. on ebay! There was an 8201-401C that SirensOfCincinnati bought yesterday. I’ve always wanted the one of the square ones since they look so cool. All I have right now is the 8201-401C but I won’t give up!
Seems like there’s been a wave of rarer smoke popping up lately. The SMK6 does the rapid warble. The 8202-001’s horn is indeed a squealer horn (fairly loud too). I’ll have a video of all my newest smokes up in the next few days.
