FYI this thing is loud. I bumped the volume down a lot when editing to avoid blowing people's eardrums out

Never thought I’d see the day someone restores a fire alarm! I’m actually into these types of things, especially old/vintage devices like this one. These horns were used primarily in the 1940’s and 1950’s. IBM sold their brand to Simplex, which is a well known fire Alarm company.

That new tag is awesome. That amount of meticulous work you put into it is insane.

Many 1950’s-era school buildings in Oregon used horns like that for outdoor “bells.” Fire alarms were typically motor-driven sirens.

The icing on the cake of this excellent video is that there no extraneous chatting, background music or other distractions.

My mechanic grandfather always called PB Blaster "tiger piss". I found that so funny as a kid and I still chuckle 20+ years later when I see a can of it

I was blown away by the label reproduction. That's amazing work and I always wondered how those were made.
