That said that Vauxhall is probably a classic now according to Bangers and Cash.  

Its a bit different with electronics though, back when the Guardall panel was new everyone had TV's with CRT tubes, and incandescent light bulbs, I cant see those becoming classics anytime soon

looking on ebay there 2 options 

 

 

Lotus Carlton 90k

 

or 2.0 CDX 3k,which would have been 2/3's or 1/4 of price of the average owners house ?

 

 

any suggestions for a more modern Guardall Balmoral 5 replacement?  Rough spec - work with 4 existing wired detectors (with the typical 2 resistive states, I know they're pretty common I replaced one a few years back with a newer model), and entrance keypad -  like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155675281609?itmmeta=01HV4JYQMD4RVSTT8M3ZDSA709&hash=item243ef848c9:g:RboAAOSwwItkt8O7&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0AkKJK%2BpbAc7wa7SYZWtsI7I6bOhydC19uxloj1V1vkwvWur9gS5vgi3Osfpq5ilrLVCAxVYLb%2Bg3rHtL%2BQA5DaQvQJiIVAXIJHI%2FSpGEDCGchDYstUmQbcVgS4vdGzrn0dP%2Be7E9QzNq%2FP4Tst%2FDF026Z62cN2%2BPJ6KSX0BXS1AAlgJuGqZ5APvEpaSWSIFrTfu%2BhQLHzW%2FPXIdWuetXImSubbH%2B5ExxUqfUv%2Fs0KjtRL%2BsIwfANzN0WHiqrY2%2Fi1wouSTJLQkEjwugw81RS5I%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR576-pLZYw  becoming quite valuable I see...       with RJ45 ie. internet connectivity to send states to a designated website ???

 

Ideas?

 

Regards and thanks for all help on this one!

I think sometimes people try their luck with Ebay I can see anyone paying that sort of money for one when you can buy a new panel and keypad for a little more. 

I cant recommend a panel as the ones we install are not really diy, but plenty of people seem to like Scantronic ION and its a brand that bin around for years

yes, I know... terrible the prices some people try on, in eBay.   No, I don't need the panel - I am looking for a replacement to the Guardall  Balmoral 5 that will work with just 4 existing wired detectors and the control panel mentioned above.  I feel sure that it must exist, just need to find it...!

Pretty much any hybrid or wired panel will do that.

Assuming the peripherals are ok and of decent quality

the current offer from the Domino's is £12 for a large pizza... your "3 pizza keypad "is probably the same £ including vat as it was sold for 20 - 30 years ago when it was brand new & had a manufacturers warranty.

 

Factor in inflation & even though it was probably nicked form work its been a less than Stella investment...
