Eh I do get one good find every like 4 to 5 days

My most recent good find was a FireX FADCM/FADCQ

Would you count Pre. 1995 FireX stuff good?

That’s actually not bad for a beginner as I once struggled as well

90’s FireX devices aren’t common, but not what I’d call rare. But if you find anything older than that (eg. FX1014, FX1020, FX830, FXB-1, FXC-1) then those are quite good especially the last that three I listed.

That was an FADCM as the text was engraved (at least what I thought) rather than printed in ink.

How can I identify them? because I find ones that look like that kind of design all the time and they all look the same.

The FXC has a cord running into it. The FXB doesn’t actually have a test button, the dark spot is just an indicator. The 1020s and 1014s rather have a red LED instead of a green one. The 830 has a white button.

Next time I find one I’ll look

Oops the FXBs actually do have a button, I think instead it might be the FXWs that don’t have a button

Yeah I think I remember hearing about that before

Here’s another angle of one of the pyrotector things, and here you can see the internals a bit better!

What? There are generations of that model? What are the differences between them? (since up until now I thought there was only one generation)

Yeah I’m pretty sure going by the light in the center that that is indeed a Pyrotector Smoke Switch 30-290.

Yea extremely unlikely lol
