Please, no crashing here, I don’t want you to get in trouble, and also this isn’t Discord, looly.
As far as I’m aware all of these Masterlocks are corded, but this specific model has never been seen as it was recalled relatively quickly into its life span.

Wow. I want one of those for my collection now. 
New year, new finds as I always say.

It’s tied with the Wells Fargo gas alarm maybe a tiny bit rarer but not by much since both have only been seen and documented once.

Wells Fargo gas alarm? What’s that?
Recalled? How’d you find that out?
Oh yeah, I’ve seen that detector before (though it was the smoke detector version I think).
That makes sense. Any Wells Fargo alarm is considered ultra-rare at least, and of course that linecord version has never been seen until you found it. As for what I heard about the Masterlock, only the battery variants have been found and there’s been only one ever found on a 3D tour and 2 on eBay. No one (aside from me) has found a linecord of that.
Does that mean that I dethroned the find of 2025?
Oh, also… @V.S.A.M
god I’m a goofball lmao
Found in the same house as the Masterlock

I have this Black & Decker Flamebuster SMK30 in my little collection
I made a post about this alarm and thanks to @TheCarson116 , I found out this was a decently rare little guy.

Nice I’ve seen those on 3D tours before, and yes they’re decently rare as they’re not found frequently. Nice alarm!

Mhm: even rarer is the SMK25/SMK30 (the one Person has is actually a A9427 SMK9, sorry for the confusion/misidentification), which has a silence button.

I noticed a dark spot on the side of the alarm, is that like an escape light or is it an operation indicator? When I looked back at James’s homesearching episode 49 when he found that, I noticed that his didn’t have that dark spot. I’m thinking that’s either an escape light or an operation indicator. It could also be another feature that’s included in all alarms of this model.

It looks a little bit too small to be an effective escape light. It most likely is an operation indicator.

Ah, good to know. Thanks
Here’s one that I found of the same variant, however yours is better because yours is in basically mint condition

Mine was in a closet so It never really saw the sun. It still detects smoke too.

Yeah it’s a good way to preserve it to prevent damage to it.
Also, I wouldn’t call this next alarm that I found “rare” but one day I spotted an 1839 that got sunbaked until it turned into poopoo

Definitely.
I actually have three BRK 1769ACIs (which in themselves are fairly rare detectors) that are varying shades of yellow, heh.
Not to burst your bubble or anything but the “1839 Nightmare” joke is a bad joke now. I personally didn’t hear about all the drama surrounding it until Hydraulic160 reached out to me regarding it, saying that James got mad at me for repeatedly using that joke. I’m sorry to Itigo personally and my heart goes out to him. Really I meant no harm.
Long story short, Itigo left the community due to being bullied with that joke into a state of depression. The use of that joke got so out of hand that people were using it erroneously to bully Itigo. It got so bad that James had to make a post about it on YouTube that I didn’t see until after Hydro reached out to me. So please, never make that joke again. You can joke about the EST Genesis G1RF-HDVM (as well as any of the HD and HO series) being my worst nightmare, the FG200 being Matthew Kight’s, or even the 1839ACI being @Smplx4004’s, but don’t joke about the 1839N.
P.S. James don’t like being pinged…
That aside, that 1839N has seen better days.

Oh, is that what happened? I heard a brief mention of that in another topic but had no idea that’s what went down. Sorry to hear that.
