it's almost impressive how high pitched that vibratone is, almost a complete octave lol nice video!

Why are they so HIGH PITCHED

Edwards signal technology is still in business with GE. Is the building still in use ?

What they don’t show is how ABOMINABLY slow it is to re-initialize when you boot it up or touch the settings. The one I have also turned on silence inhibit without asking me and I can’t turn it off.

Can you make a vid with this whole system?

Edwards 374 Adaptahorn The Loudest Fire Alarm in the Multiverse

Is there a way to tell these two horn strobes apart just from looking at them? The only difference I see (note I’m an avid enthusiast, not an industry pro) is the flush mount plate. Which I would’ve assumed was only that, a mounting plate.

Yaaassss queen 💅💅💅

Love the mechanical horn harmony!

Ah, another fire alarm collector who lives in michigan, we people just cool like that 😆😁😎

Well, that'll wake you up in math class😂

3:01 never seen a bell like that before.

Was th book fir sale or wasnis display

Its just a dumb horn change it to a true alert or something newer instead of that ancient 1000 year old garbage and that would be the most irritating alarm ever luckly that company doesn't exist anymore it failed to turn off because it needs to be replaced k

1:30 that one barber

Good ol Tim, never fails to impress us.

Where did u go to do that stuff?

Loudness level: EXTREMELY LOUD

Edwards 374 Apatahorn The Loudest Fire Alarm in The Multiverse

My middle had these in the hallways & a few classrooms (except they were labeled Faraday). Most classrooms had truealerts, the computer lab had a spectralert classic, and as I was ending 8th grade some of the dying Faradays were getting replaced with Wheelock exceders.

If you sett it to 0.75x it sounds like a simplex 2001

That’s my school fire alarm

When There’s a Fire The Horns SCREAM at you to Get The F Out because there’s a FIRE!!

4:38 “that’s Thunderbolt Threshold when you walk in front of that horn” I feel like it is more like a P-50 threshold lmfao. My 7002T is very comparable to a Thunderbolt whenever I go into my room while it’s going off without hearing protection. It hurts so bad I have to cover my ears the second I come in as it is that loud

Nice sound

So much better than the electronic alarms of today.

this had to have been the same alarm system that was used in the old part of my elementary school it was a non stop horn sound with no code this is pretty nostalgic not gonn lie

Had these on as engine alarms on boat I used to be engineer on.

Love the system! Churches can have some of the coolest fire alarm systems in them!

I had this exact same system at my elementary school! I honestly miss those Edwards Adaptahorns growing up, plus I enjoy old vintage fire alarm systems. There is a reason I just ordered myself an Edwards Adaptahorn with an Edwards 270 to go along with it.

This is a true fire alarm system.

Sorry for reply spamming your comments but I wanted to give *you* credit for a very awesome video! This is definitely one of my favourites now, got ahold of the trouble bell and now just looking for one of those buzzy boi horns! Lucky you for being able to participate in such an awesome vintage system test, loved the heck out of it and you got yourself a new subscriber!

Now that's what a fire alarm sounds like

My middle school had those as the school bells! But they were slightly lower-pitched than that one. The one in your video sounds like the Simplex 4090 6" school bells they had at my first elementary school.

nice and do u have any ac devices

That bell at 3:03 is an Edwards 340T Trouble Bell Thank Me Later! ;)

Gentex SHGs will forever be one of my favorite 90s horn strobes

My school was built in 1975 and consisted of 3 adaptahorns. 2 flush mount and 1 regular horn. in 1990 they went under construction. The 2 flush mounts where removed. The entire school was replaced with Federal signal 450D's + VALS. the regular Adaptahorn was wired into the new system. What happened to the other Adaptahorns, In that remodeling they gutted the entire place out and made more class rooms. And as of 2023 neither of them are their and the addition with that had the old adaptahorn is being rebuilt because of a fire. And that was because some dumbass cut a wire.

sound slike a very loud eletrical transformer

Sup

Recently found an Edwards that has no lights, has solenoids with cardboard numbers that pop up indicating which zone went off. There is a lever that flips the numbers back into standby position.

My school has a bunch of Edwards trouble bells

May I ask how you managed to wire them together?

Reminds me of the alarm in my elementary school that is long gone

I have a 372-A Edwards Adapthorn I'm trying to troubleshoot. The motor clicks but doesn't spin when connected to batt. Could it be dirty brushes or a short in the windings? I'm not too sure how to fix it.

The cow bell is the trouble bell. it sounds if there is a break in the pull station wire, a break in the hoorn loop or if primary power fails but the supervisory power is still active. it will also sound on alarm.

I live in Wyandotte and my dad used to work for National Time and have been trying to find a National series 7000 panel for forever , where did you get yours?!?! Amazing setup!

Sounds like a lawnmower/ tornado siren

kewl ✨

I’m so glad you got this opportunity!! for some reason my school district is obsessed with keeping their older devices, especially at my high school (there was a disconnected 9806 in the gym) and it has been through many generations, sad to see how they don’t manufacture them anymore. Although it is understandable considering how people have certain hearing and visual disabilities which is why we have horn/strobes to this day. But this video absolutely slaps!! you earned a subscriber.
