Simplex Fire Alarms

[Jon3800]

@Pourdevadean

It's their hobby and it's not really your place to decide whether it's the worst hobby ever. That's your opinion but you should respect the fact that people are different and enjoy different hobbies, because I can turn around and say whatever your hobby is the worst and I'm sure you won't appreciate that. I stopped collecting fire alarms 2 years ago and my hobby is breeding keeping and selling off tarantulas.

Wats teh potato u used to record this?

[Jon3800]

@megacharizard1234

It's called a laptop computer, genius. Not a toaster, not a potato. I hate when these silly comments are made. A potato doesn't come close to 360p, and to be quite frank, it's a video taken back in more than 2 years ago (when I didn't own 2 good cameras as back then), this wasn't bad at all for a 6yr old laptop with a webcam. Older video reduce quality over time. This stuff you should already know. In 2 years from now, I bet your videos are not going to be as crisp.

@tericlose33

Teri, I'm not a deaf bitch. I probably have better hearing than you do.

[herzlichliebhabich]

@Jon3800 John, yeh those things are loud because they were designed to alert people in the event of a fire. What do people expect???? Thank you for showing and demonstrating your alarms. It is very interesting!!

[herzlichliebhabich]

@herzlichliebhabich I have a 4901-9805 that I found at an antique shop and it still works. We have a burglar alarm museum with vintage alarms from the very early 1900s to the 1980s. I may start collecting some of these simplex fire alarms well. Thanks again Jon3800, alarming dave

Damn you're sexyp

[MrGreenPotato1]

are u deaf man those are loud

[Jon3800]

@MrGreenPotato1

they're 85db.. Not that loud

[CJWJR]

@Jon3800 Not that loud!? You must be half way deaf. In college I worked a summer job in a factory where we were required to wear ear plugs b/c the decibels of the machinery were 85db or louder!

[Jon3800]

@CJWJR

They're not loud because I'm used gotten used to them, and believe my hearing as just as good as it was before I even had them. Of course you need ear plugs since you're being exposed to these noise levels for 6-7 hours per day. These alarms in the video were only sounded for a couple of seconds to a few minute.

[maxgreenlawns]

@CJWJR he's  right you know

[msj191961]

I am getting the 4901-9805 this week. Is it loud?

[Jon3800]

@msj191961

its 85db, not as loud as the 4040/4050. You asked me about the true alert. Im not doing anything with it. It needs a whole new circuit

[Tabby266]

Sorry for the old video, but the starting sound file reminded me of the fire drill in P.E. today, except there's a prealarm.
