  • My uncle has an old hardwired detector from the 1970's, with a red light which shines steadily when powered. It has a low pitched buzz, similar, but not exact to the square photoelectric detector that you posted. Do you know what brand this one might be? He would always disconnect it, because it would buzz whenever he was cooking, and it got to be excessive.

  • I would need a better physical description of the alarm to be able to answer that question. Also, how was it disabled?  Was it unplugged or unwired, or did the cover just have to be removed?

  • what is that little circle on the bottom right of the Genral Electric 120 VAC smoke alarm.

  • It is the "AC POWER" indicator pilot light.

  • Who knew smoke alarms could be so exciting!

  • This is neat, there are a lot of kinds. But this doesn't cover installation :/

    There's a great guide to installing smoke detectors on livingwithmyhome.

  • this may sound like a weird question, but where'd you get the music for this video from? I've heard it before on a television gameshow.

  • Oh okay I thought so. I didn't see a test button. So it sounds like these alarms had a brass squealer horn from what NLind mentioned above. How was the ionization chamber strange? Up until now I had thought this alarm was newer but again I didn't realize it was from the 1970's. It is an interesting alarm along with the Teledyne one that looks like a giant space ship.
