could all TSI members pop into their local branch on the off chance they have the same reader to solve the 8yr mystery ?

in this game if its 8 years old its probably been super-seeded and not made anymore

I am curious to know what it is because it is rare to see this sort of technology used in public.

Uninterestingly I know the type you mean I have seen them in other Halifax branches.

The ones I have seen in the branches years ago have since been replaced for Prox.

 

It's 12 buttons in a circle, square about as wide as a 9500 keypad and I assumed you remember the number using positions on a clock?

 

Absolutely no idea on make model etc.

 

 

Hi, I don't know who makes the 9500 keypad. I think the code may be remembered numerically, and then the user remembers it sub-consciously or by muscle memory. The segment spacing looked too tight to be representative of a clock face.

I think I can guess who it was - the same people who made the one I took out of an old BaE systems place a few years back I suspect.

 

I posted about it at the time, and was amazed to find the company apparently still trading with a very 1990s looking website.

Their products also seemed to be rebadged by Chubb at one time, and the website had the same ones I remember from banks

back then including the 5 digit ones that were like 5 typewriter keys in a row, no numbers, in a folded metal case to hide your finger movements.
