It has been a great five years and counting of watching your videos. I am still into fire alarms and other alert devices to this day and it will never cease to exist. It has been 11 years now since my first fire alarm experience in a five star hotel (older wheelocks with notifier female voice evac/whoop) which happened after someone smoked in the bathroom. Of course it sparked a panic attack into me as I was very noise sensitive and still am today to a small degree, but at the same time I was scared, a new fascination.
5:43 reminds me of that scene form the movie Wargames when at the end they made the computer play tic tac toe on its own to defeat it and the whole room was flashing like crazy!
Hi 'Dude! My 4-yo son is VERY into your videos. He is identifying every type of pull-station and speaker-strobe we see, and pretending to test fire alarms as his primary form of play. His new favorite toy is a Lego model of a Simplex T-bar Pull Station, a speaker-strobe, and a set of emergency lights. I wired in some LEDs so the emergency lights and speaker strobe actually 'work'. Anyway, we are in MA also and it would be a dream come true for him to see your fire museum in real life. I know it's a longshot, but if there's any way you'd be open to having a visitor, it would mean the world to him. I would compensate you for your time, or if you would like a Lego model of the pull station I made, I would very happily make one for you in trade. Also, we watched your Christmas and New Years specials, and they are just lovely. Keep it up; you're awesome. =)
Hi Gary, Thanks for your comment! I’m really glad to hear about your son’s interest in my videos. I could potentially organize a visit in person but it depends on scheduling. Please send me an email at firealarmdude5967@gmail.com and we can discuss more there.
