was replaced when we had all the boards up hence discovering later poor workmanship as well.

 

when the alarm was done in 80's it was very unusual to gut & completely redo a house in one hit.

 

the cable skinned across the door way would be so it wouldn't be seen under a thinning carpet, the soldiered joints where quite nicely done

 

its probably given decades of service...

 

If you've the budget to have all the boards up & replace all the doors, why haven't you got £150 for decent controls ?

 

you know the answer h, spent on a new iPhone. will keep the 18yr old alarm running then complain its shite when it finally curls it toes

That kind of jointing might be normal, and I've seen it lots, but running bare cores any distance, normal, really? Blimey.

it either been skinned to lay flatter or the outer insulation has been damaged then removed ?

 

who knows, subscriber might have complained about a bump in the carpet & this was the solution ?

 

Its appear to have been in place sometime...

 

 

An ex engineer I used to work with used to rout the boards when they posed a problem... probably quicker to lift or fish.

What would you suggest? I don't see any problem using decent electronics that are working fine. A new battery, all tests fine, it's probably half way through it's life. The Scantronic box seems perfectly adequate. Why blow £150 for no reason?

So what panel is it you have? Picture?

I think you misread me. What's an iPhone? (born 1958, an iphobe if not a technophobe). What I dislike is wasting money. Reusing my existing gear, tweaked to what I need it to do is surely being "green". If it "curls it's toes" then I shall replace it with a new panel. Whilst it works and does the job I need, then why change?
