11:25 check the model number. SpectrAlert Classics come in a beige version too, not just red and white. So it might be a beige and not just faded white. I don't see too many of those, so yours might actually be less common than you thought. I can't totally tell from the video, it could just be faded or not. I think the model number for beige ends in B.
@@FireAlarmDude5967 ah okay. makes sense, just couldn't quite tell and thought it might have been the weird beige version. I only recently noticed they had beige for Classics and I think MASS sounders
@@GabetheSlackerIt's for security reasons, so people that pull them, can't un-pull a station so FD knows which one is activated, and just to make it so you can't unactivate the device (Even though once it's pulled, resetting it won't unalarm the system, but still). They are like extra detailed light switches with locks in a way lol
And also don’t be afraid to compromise if you want them. Give some get some, if you can fund them yourself without actually spending money and keep the hobby neat they will be more likely to let you have them. There are many ways to get units without paying a ton, such as asking fire alarm companies for old units or checking for disposed units after an upgrade
@@FireAlarmDude5967 oh thanks, I only have 2 pull stations and 2 alarms, I've been looking for ways to get more. Any companies in particular I should ask?
My parents would disown me for having a collection like this. They consider it “hoarding.” Did you know I got expelled from my current high school? Tell OSFA about the 1930s-early 80s hardware in your collection.
That’s unfortunate, my parents don’t mind as long as I don’t waste my money, keep the collection confined to one area and don’t take over anywhere outside of this area. And cool
I can’t set off any alarms because my POS mother is home almost all the time nowadays. She’s like “Where did you find that?” I’ll be glad the day my mother finally croaks!!
That’s gotta Ben the absolutely rudest thing I have ever heard someone say. Someone like u don’t care anyway so fuck it stay they way u are keep being a dickhead
