You know when you're in Lancs
QuoteThis caravan has previously been damaged and had an insurance claim against it but has been fully repaired, and now you wouldn't know.
Found it on ebay and pretty sure that is not 'cheap' even without the crash or whatever the feck has happened to it

I personally wouldn't fit G3 contacts anywhere I didn't have to.

appears oddly familiar ?
but I never seen one, seller has some right old tat as other items...
Yeah I can see the inference but Singapore is an odd location for manf (though I believe Siemens used it as well as India for some SPC)
I don't think it's a Scanny product per-se but maybe they did some contract design or manf. work?

The suggestion was that the data was related to linkedin as people could only find their 'special' linkedin email in the breach.
I do the same - linkedin@domain.com as I do for everything e.g. securitywarehouse@domain.co.uk which means compromise on one only hands over the keys to all if the passwords are the same
(sometimes they are, sometimes not) and a switched on human spots that they need to substitute the recipient part of the email - and it is not always as plain and obvious. My paypal login for example,
is NOT paypal@domain.com.
I've tried on the 'Have I Been Pwned' site and cannot find anything for any of my domains let alone the linkedin one
In fact, searching my surname suprisingly only brings up a single result I know isn't me as it relates to a single ancient exploit of a forum on a weed smoking enthusiasts site!

What toilets do you go in?

A shitty old one sold for £415 at the weekend, plus postage, lets see if the punters accept the 'new' price...?
Just after that some desperado bought a totally broken, badly restored one for £300 which had been unsold for months.
-
I'd have binned it personally so I'd say £2 is fair
-
They are, but it's fairly easy to do if you really want to. I can't be arsed everything is buy it now unless it's total rubbish and it's eBay then bin if unsold

I see the plastic bellbox that sold for 45 has now been relisted

Slightly surprised there isn't a zone attribute called Rex though, Siemens has both Rex zone and dedicated Rex on the door card iirrc. Not sure about texe?

Nah I used to work for PCP for 9 months, they were a spin off (ha ha) of the much more famous Peter Simper of Bath which rebuilt fruit machines with new glass and Eproms to give them a 2nd life.
Before they did it no-one had really thought of it, and machines were just binned (after all they had usually made many ££££s in profit than they ever cost to build). They outlived Simper themselves though.
Anyway PCP were massive until the early 90s, but by the time I worked for them in 1999 they were effectively a design house though still did prototyping (which was where I fitted in) and very small runs of 10-20 initial machines.
After that it was all built by contract. The company was owned by Electrocoin, a shabby London based outfit who just about still exist. All the machines went to the EU. Only about 20 people worked there even then
and 12 of those were programmers. The office, a badly converted old mill, is still there derelict to this day and AFAIK Electrocoin still owns the property and every year one of the directors attempts to convince council to turn into HMO.

'ROM Market' was supposed to be an arcade, but we never did those types of machines in Bath so it never happened. Windows had adverts in of no appeal to anyone outside the very closed industry and electronic junk piled up behind.

LOl yeah no way I really wanted it, will probably never see one again, and it looks cool just being Viz so I think it's a keeper for now

Good to hear, I think apart from people staying home a lot of people have extra disposable income at the moment.
Yeah
bit odd though, but as you say probably a mixture of money sloshing around, boredom, and possibly grants/loans burning a hole in peoples pockets.
Didn't realise the program was for people blatently selling stuff, thought it was a sob story sort of show, but maybe I've got it confused with another similar type prog?
TBF I think he could have got more, a little more. Don't forget with ebay + paypal thats £140 in fees, ouch.
Did you see me saying I'd had someone, I believe genuine, offering me £3k for my 1990s Barcrest Viz fruit machine?

Heres an original one
But something about it looks fishy (ha ha penguins...) to me, too clean, too shiny.
Elephant House in Cov is the annual [they do other aucitons as well but machines are a big annual event] go-to auction for the scene, feck knows when it will be back on again.
I couldn't believe the prices, as in low, for some of the vending machines from previous auctions. One machine was still in it's box, went for £15, no joke. Another was £10 and was
sold later on ebay for £500. I had hoped to go this year, but... When I do I can always look out for you.
My Rose Cottage Automatics biz is going crazy, sold 3 machines over the weekend.

LOL
Missed that on the TV
They seem like quite a fair sized co, or at least, they have proper manf premises

Loads of different variations on the site.
IIRC the largest collection of working ones + open to public is down the road in Wookey Hole (nr Wells)

ebay for @PeterJames
New build, sadly probably about the going rate money wise, you can pay about the same for original but expect it to need tinkering (plus all the auctions are probably cancelled until march next year, thats if the guy who runs them survives financially)

Her, you sexist.
We used to have two dogs, one that thought we were ace and the other who couldn't really give one
Guess which one we ended up lumbered with. I bet she'll live to something like 18 as well.

Thanks for the replies,
The system was last serviced in February 2020 as a condition of the sale to us, so in that respect it should be in full working order and having set it on a and also done a walt test all the sensors and door sensors are working.
I will have a try arming b later and see what is armed and what's not.
The manuals for the 9851 system came in a huge bundle of manuals and docs from when the house was built in 2006 and the panel model is the 9930 model. 9851 is displayed on the screen of the control panels.
I will have a browse through the manuals further to see if I can find out how to default the engineer code.
I'm not going to mess about with it really as I don't want to break what seems to be a fully working system.
I have a dog, he's bloody useless!
Thanks again.
They really should have left a list of zones indicating part sets, but failing that usually part b in a 2 storey house would be perimeter zones eg doors, garage etc... if fitted and any rooms beyond the journey from the stairs to the keypad. Sometimes, it may be set up so that straying in the morning eg walking into the kitchen/lounge only starts an audible timer as a reminder to unset rather than an instant alarm.

I have had similar issues with final door AND wireless contact, when door is already open AND final set. I have never seen a bulletin for any sort of firmware issue as such, though.
Latest software is 6.01, beware though, this update finally allows installer to lock panel. However if you can see programming I assume installer has given you engineer code??

But if an alarm is important get something more up-to-date
They still make and sell the 9651!!
OP just FYI 9930 is just the keypad model number, thats the old type so tells us your alarm is at least 10 years old.
Where are you getting the manual from - online, or left with the house? Only the requirement for the 'zero' in front of the Eng code
went with the old shape keypad (more or less) so that won't help if you are trying to enter it and the system doesn't like it.
However, any installer and even DIY will have changed the engineer code from default or they need shooting.
Are you sure it's the 9851? Does it have a square metal case or an oblong one?
If you do indeed have the manual it will tell you how to default both codes without loosing the programming, but not a normal
DIY exercise and beware mains voltages in the box.
As above, probably needs a proper service and a new main battery.
