I just really love the beats that this system does for its March time. Especially I’ve seen videos of other standard electric time systems doing this type of March time and also another collector made his coder do this exact March time too.

Funny story. Our family went to a VERY old hotel with this type of alarm in each room. It went off and I almost had a heart attack and ended up peeing my pants. Because of the anxiety i had during that time, boy it sucked. It happened the same year when this video came out, (2014) and i was only 5.

These old systems are very cool and last forever, but it is so extremely irresponsible for one to still be in use in the 21st century. Not ADA compliant, no fire department dialing, and no automatic detection.
@OldSchoolFireAlarmsАй бұрын
The older systems can very easily be upgraded to be ADA compliant and most of these older systems are and can be tied into security companies and fire departments, I just don't show that in my videos. These older systems are 100 times more dependable then the absolute cheap digital crap that is manufactured today.

I'm currently planning on restoring my 10" IBM Bell, the only problem is, I don't know how to remove the striker from it. The reason I don't know how to do it is because my 10" IBM Bell is a Vibrating Bell, I only know how to remove the striker from Single Stroke Bells.

This school was the original East High School. The school was later named Goodyear Jr. High School. They changed the name again one last time to Goodyear Middle School. The school has been closed for some time now and was sold to the hotel across the street. So it is now in the hands of a private company. Its just a matter of time before the school is either demolished or repurposed and renovated. In either case, it will cost a large sum of money to do one or the other.
