I would love to get my hands on one of the Lynteck sirens typically found in the bell boxes of the late 80s, or early 90s. Everyone had them.

 

I recall kinetic as the brand we bought (pic from google)

 

 

there where also massive brown ones,

Yes, they were very popular, I am going to email Lynteck and ask if they can shed any light on the design, I doubt they will, but you never know. Might also email Kinetic, but they are probably the same company. Didn't realise Lynteck also had a range of bell boxes https://www.lynteck.co.uk/products/intruder/sounders/#external they all look quite good. Do you know how these sorts of sounder worked? I know many were made

Yeah they also did an early variant of this in the 90's sponsored by Keith Flint...

Kieth Flint? Okay haha, I emailed them, but they didn't have anything of interest to give me, just a PDF, showcasing all of their sounders. Is that sounder pictured any good?

they wrote to every household in the UK to inform them of a potential fire risk in their external sounder,

 

which resulted every alarm co. being asked by loads of worried customers if the completely different box was going to burn them to death....

IIRC strobe design fault, buts its 25yrs ago

Yeah, must have cost them a lot of money. That was my worry when trying to design an SAB, how the battery charging circuit could potentially cause a fire

It wasn't lithium based back then
