Oh yeah I know Mr H (and indeed the whole UK) is desperado to find out, it was Napco we first installed, but a bit newer than these... The boss used to buy everything from Gardtec wholesaler

The guy who had the franchise was a computer whizz kid & had pda's & tracking on his fleet at very early date

Prob advising the gov on business growth, or in charge of some large NHS or council budget

I don't know a lot about them but guess there were quite a few models in the same case over a few years?

 

We only ever used them occasionally, I do wonder if even now I overuse DTs now they are so compact but have very few true FAs.

 

This looks pretty special!

Don't worry about it, Happy is just sad his best anorak got ruined at radio club.

Brown PSU (early Modern alarms coporate colours?) at a stupid price - Mr H's fave colour ;)

Obscure Philips observation systems accessory (not alarms but hey, I remember this tat from our local Gateway!)

and apart from the cable, the batteries, and the DSC range I think Napco were about the only outside brands they sold? The M+S of alarm wholesalers :)

let page him - @The Arab you still alive ?

 

Only as far as September last year.

 

(Though of course, that could have been the police turning on his PC after finding the corpse after 2 and a bit years. Just like in that film about that woman. 'Dreams of a Life' I think it was called. 'Dreams of No Life' if you're a TSI regular...)

 

And, in case this all comes across as a bit morbid, console yourself with a look at this little haul...

Someone is going to be in for a little bit of an annoying time after sticking it all up and realising Risko wireless detectors don't play nicely with Scanny 9448s :)
