That Sears on that demo board is a rebrand of the nearly-extinct BRK SS74R, which is already rare

Sorry, I meant extremely rare. Probably less than 10 have been found while homesearching. The BRK SS74R is essentially a BRK SS749 without a test button. The SS749s actually started fires, so they were recalled shortly after introduction. So that means finding one while homesearching almost 50 years later is insane. Same goes for the SS74R and the Sears rebrand. James from Photoelectric Elevators has made a video about identifying if a smoke alarm is rare or not.

Oh, okay.

Please keep it clean, this is intended to be an all-ages forum.

Nice job!

I believe that’s the Radioshack rebrand of the Southwest Laboratories Probe 101, the 49-466.

Oh? Huh…

What!?

Yeah.

That mainly all depends on whether one is known to be rare or not though, no? (& thus not necessarily any other factors)

Ah, I see. He mentioned the SS749 in that video which is why I brought it up.

Is that a smoke alarm listener next to it? If that’s the case, it probably means that the owner is still actively maintaining and using that unit, which is both cool and concerning at the same time.

Yes exactly! Everybody curses

It’s operating? Interesting. I also wasn’t sure what that little thing above it was either.

He said “all ages”. Not just 13+. Plus it’s still better if you censor those words before sending.

Reminder to keep it civil. Discussion and discourse (there’s a reason they forum software we use uses that name) is allowed, but you must remain respectful of one another at all times.

Touché. I don’t like dealing with drama personally. It gets old people bullying other people because of this and that.

Certain people in the smoke alarm community believe this to be the most insane find ever which is just not true as there has been way rarer things found! Examples": Woodgrain 74R Sears, Wells Fargo gas alarm, and a C&M industries Model 5.
