Here's a rare fire alarm device that hasn't been shown on YouTube yet. It's an early version of the Simplex 4050-80 light plate where the horn ( in this case, a Simplex 4051) is completely recessed into the light plate, instead of sticking out a bit as usual. These were made back in the early 1970s.
I got this from an elementary school in my city (where a few of my brother and I's teachers now work) that had a fire alarm upgrade during spring break. Since the original light circuitry uses a 125-VAC lamp (yes, for some reason, they used 125-VAC signal lights with 24-VDC horns), I swapped it with the one from my newer 24-VDC 4050-80. The black box behind it is a NAC coding device I got from NewAgeServerAlarm.

I would upload this on my fire alarm channel, but I lost the password to it.

Caution: LOUD!
