Ever Seen One Of These?

[camerabloke]

Yes, making a replica. Just trying to get all the necessary original parts together.

Nearly all the parts have been identified, but this keypad is one that has never been ID'd - so it's hard to find one. I've been trawling eBay UK & USA for months in the hope one would come up.

thanks for clarifying you are making a replica, some people here are so narrow minded.

i hope you find what you are looking for.

im sure everyone will keep a look out for the part you need

I would be inclined to speak to some American engineers about this one, some one like "Tech-Man" may even have one.

Google is your friend.

i dont get it if you know it was from a real security system why dont you know what it is ?

The guys that made the original car just found this part randomly. Someone else knew it was a keypad from a security system, but didn't have any idea of the model. I've heard it might be a company called TRW. Does that ring any bells?

Maybe it's just a coincidence, but look here.....

Hints that DeLorean may restart production, but in the US!

Maybe this will be an optional extra

my first thoughts were key pad looks early 50's American (i love lucy shows), and that would tie in with the ademco link (which is American owned).

seems the same as used on many telephones seen on early Tv, especially like those found in hotel rooms internal systems, but can't help with the actual casing having those indicators in.

if it is a dummy for show only, you could reproduce it in a fiberglass mold perhaps?

Yup, TRW is a big US company, nowadays mostly in Automotive stuff plus aerospace in Europe.

So, they could quite credibly have done alarms or anything like that years ago.

Why not contact them, send the picture. You never know they might publish it internally and get you an answer if you explain why!
