I was looking for information on a telecom security branded ademco galaxy 16+ and elmdene sounder

  to find that someone is selling telecom sounders on ebay.

Tat roundup...

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alarm-Bell-Box-Outside-Fitting/303272135130?hash=item469c6d89da:g:WQcAAOSwU7hdbPFq

I thought this was metal until I looked closer. No wonder the bottom nut was rusty, bet mounting it like that wasn't intended?

If I've listed this before, I'm sorry (not really)

Ventcroft sounder PCB just in case anyone on here has an empty, dummy one but with a full backplate...

Tenner seems good if no other bids?

Rare? Yes for a reason. Do you want it in your life? No!

Suspect Roy has bought this from another seller a few weeks back and now realises he doesn't have the time, skills, or inclination to fit a 30 year old alarm system.

I remember ordering a Moss 'lightswitch PIR' from Maplins only to be told 3 weeks later by letter that it was now discontinued with a cheque at the bottom as a refund.

 

Alans funny stories back again, same time tomorrow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

Those bloody paragons are the devils work! Programming is an absolute nightmare and the key combinations are stupid. I have one in my collection, which I should really bin because the power supply is whacked. It runs when on batteries though so why not keep it? My god I have a problem...

There is gear we rate some is poor some is great. I doubt any of us thats worked with it has pyronix in high regard. Castle yes pyronix no. I'm hoping hik will make castle great again but it's not about that so probably no.

I have used a couple of euro minis. They are pretty good but I wouldn't fit them. Before I moved to Orisec the deltabell was my sounder of choice but the back light did get on my nerves. You could either choose one that only lights up half of the box or one that looks really weak.

If you send them an e-mail they can sort somthing out for you. I am only 14 and only do installs for relatives and family freinds, so not much in terms of registered companies here. The sales team are great and will try to accommodate you as well as they can :)
