I could swear I saw one on eBay, which had Ventcroft guts in it, with the piezo cover saying 'VENTCROFT' either way, it's a bell box and it does a job. Were the Castle Care Tech ones made by Ventcroft? The insides of them also look very similar to Ventcroft. Quote

Mine is all the way under my bed too, so it wouldn't be worth me getting it out. They all look like the Ventcroft ones, In My Opinion. Either way, they're all good, Ventcroft products are excellent.

MrHappy Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 The litlle red ni cad battery cover was a ventcroft thing.... however the pcb in a little clear box was done by Gardtec from the early 90's Quote Mr Veritas God

Yep, probably, and a few other bits and bobs, mainly alarm panel circuit boards, got an ADE Ultimate board under there, some were. I'd love some old security magazines from the 90s, showing off all of the alarm equipment. 19 minutes ago, MrHappy said: The litlle red ni cad battery cover was a ventcroft thing.... however the pcb in a little clear box was done by Gardtec from the early 90's You learn something new every day So, that little board, and the awful sound it can produce is actually Gardtec? One thing I don't like about Ventcrofts is the fact that they only have a screw tamper, no back tamper. Quote
