I have this alarm

hey, if you obtained the AC horn in the thumbnail, can you do a video on it ? if you can then i will be happy.

Please don’t leave KZbin, these fire alarm enthusiasts like me count for you, and I am delighted about your determination.

0:06 0:16 loud incorrect buzzer 9x

Is a Exide-Couch 274-108 a Exide 969R?

it’s probably louder than a wheelock type 2

They have this exact alarm at a nursing home in Needville, TX

6:28 - 6:34 I just found out you might believe in Norse Mythology. 🇳🇴 By that phrase "So how do we get this horn safely plugged without shocking yourself to valhalla?"

Good job getting 2 of those! I kind of want one so desperately.

Nice ring bro

Morse code

Sound like Chernobyl Shut down reactor 1:20

That’s a big collection!

*Spits out tea* OI LAD THAT GAVE ME A FRIGHT

i want them so badly man , yo are lucky bro , KEEP IT UP!!

well, this is a niche i never thought id be interested in. subscribed!

Glad to see you keeping them. I always liked buzzer systems.

These all make me think of graduating from Bovine University

They are like sirens

the second one was the school bell in my elementary school schoolyard many years ago

1:23 incorrect buzzer be like:

Shit I’ve risked my life for so many emergency lights and alarms back in my urbex days. Now I have a massive collection of old lighting, security systems, and fire alert systems

1:37 Tecumseh, Michigan? Neat a Michigan based company. I really wanna hear them on march time

this one aged quite well

I love your videos

Those bells were in my elementary/middle schools (built in the 50s and 60s) although when I went there they’d switched to a speaker system. They still went off a few times a year for unknown reasons though.

Wow. I have a wall phone that sounds just like that first bell, like exactly. It’s a strange sound for a phone.

A couple of those sound exactly like buzzers I've heard in older game shows. I wonder actual devices like these, or recordings of them, were commonly used in game shows back then.

The plugs on the first two look reminiscently American. Would they work on 120VAC 60Hz, or would they fry?

Hearing the 5410 go off brought me back to high school, an old 70s building outfitted with 4050s. Hearing tens of those things going off all at once and constant tone was quite aweful to us teenagers.

very nice saves, especially that old Edwards 311

0:25 - Were you required to put this disclaimer in the video? By whom? Is it to prevent getting your KZbin banned?

The fact some of these sounds are ones I deeply remember growing up means that many schools and buildings must have used a few of these or something very similar.

Im surprised that they still work

This is what I’m thinking about doing. There’s this abandoned middle school in my town and everyone goes in there all the time. The building has space age devices and gamewell century pull stations.

0:45 i think im getting a phone call

Any advice on getting alarms from abandoned, pre-demo, or pre-re-system-ed buildings? I can never get in touch in time or even know that its happening

Can the rusted fire alarms be given a new paint job? I just want to know.

I would imagine it was more obvious in situ, but hearing them all in succession I'm left wondering if so many different things all being indicated by similar horns like this ever caused confusion. I have to imagine they at least had them blast for different durations based on their purpose. _"Oh boy, it's finally lunch!"_ _"Nope, sorry, it's only __9:30__, they just opened the electrical room..."_

Good video. Now imagine using these in a Simplex 2001 system.

all shit all thay ar is buzzers

😍😍😍😍😚

The good ol Yoink.

Yo thanks for rescuing those, they are taking down that facility, the Parchment Paper Factory soon!

1:20 ❌❌❌

I see Modern Day equivalents of the Edward's 874 horn at gas stations for the overfill alert systems everywhere

Do you also rescue Outdoor Warning Sirens?
