Can someone ID this? Btw This is the only smoke in this house it’s in the basement.
Edit:I just realized that the only smoke alarm in this house this HAS NO BATTERY IN IT!?
Again can someone ID this?
GE/ESL/Black & Decker.
Why? THIS IS NOT A SMOKE ALARM THIS IS A SMOKE DETECTOR.
By the way the rest of the system is just a bunch of older FireX’s that I find all the time so I don’t care to take pictures of them.
BRK 1800 (likely 1824 or 1812)
Typically smoke detectors got used on tons of security systems
Ik
Oh that makes more sense.
I could have sworn there was a BRK or First Alert detector with that base (maybe an AC-powered unit), but to my immediate knowledge that’s a base exclusive to some Family Gard detectors. The electronic horn & clear test button points to it being the base of an FG777C (since the FG777 has an electromechanical horn & no test button & the FG888C has a white test button).
Oh yeah…well, that detector should be replaced in any case given its age (though preserved fully intact just the same of course).
ESL? Pretty sure that’s a Black & Decker SMK6D/M1, a General Electric 8201-001, or a General Electric 8201-401: no idea where you got “ESL” from given that detector looks nothing like ESL’s.
Yeah, likely an older generation of that series too going by the design (could also be the 2812 or 2824 photoelectric models too).
You didn’t know that before?
That design is only on the ion models
I don’t know much about ESL/GE/Black & Decker Smoke alarms
Oh, it is? Alright, huh…I take it then that the 1800-series came out first by itself before the 2800-series was added alongside it later on.
Oh, alright. Well, just know then that nearly all detectors that look like that are Black & Deckers, GEs, or Ei Electronics’.
I think they came out at the same time in the late 70’s
Oh, really? Why does only the 1800-series have that earlier design then?
Another one of those clear-button Dicons (that like I said the only version of it I’ve been able to nail down make & model-wise is the Ten-Tek 400).
You’ve found yet another Dicon 350 I see, heh (though it could also be a Dicon SA358).
That’s a DSC AMS-220 or MN-220.
Couldn’t tell you other than the differences in the internals due to different detection tech
Canada, also I don’t know if this helps at all but it was next to a FG888
Mhm, a Montgomery Ward 84-7 1666-00 if I’m not mistaken (could be the Mastercraft 52-0256-A rebrand too though, since both use the same cover design).
Either an Oster 157-08A or an unknown-model Sunbeam rebrand of the former (extremely rare either way though!).
Another Dicon 300-series detector I see.
I swear I’ve seen that exact detector somewhere before, but I can’t quite place it right now.
Yeah, looks like another Code One 2000 G-18.
FG777C I believe actually, since the FG777 doesn’t have a test button while that detector clearly does (& as I said before the FG888C has a white test button so it can’t be that one since the detector in the photo has a clear test button).
Nice!
Yeah I’ve seen some similar stuff before. it’s called the slim design I think, I think on one of James’s (photoelectric elevators) birthdays he got a similar slim Kidde or something. and also earlier today I remember seeing an ad for something similar while searching for vintage ads.
Mhm!
Maybe, though if you’re thinking of the Silhouette-series I don’t think it’s one of those.
Do you have the adress?
No, I find a lot of stuff and I’m too lazy to save all the addresses cause it would take a long time. and I can’t save stuff on Zillow because I don’t have an account.
