OMG Simplex 2120 with voice capability! Work in progress!

Man, my excitement for the new system tests is indescribable! I missed the old ones so much!

Sorry to hear about the passing of Brad Corey / Retired STR-SG! He helped me out when I got my Oscillator Control w/Preamp Mixer (the board just above the digital message player). Super curious to see what fun awaits with this thing!

Wouldn't surprise me if the 2120's message later inspired the message used on the 4100/4100U/4100ES given the identical wording but different pace. Also good acquisition, these panels are VERY rare to find, heck in the fire protection world they're basically like an endangered species given how few of them were made, how few were installed, & how few still survive as 2120s, a lot have been upgraded to 4100s using an upgrade kit. Finding a 2120 still in service or even better being able to obtain one is probably like finding the Holy Grail to most fire protection community members. RIP Brad Corey.

I highly approve of this video! Kay, Thank you!

This is amazing!

Awesome! Never heard the evac message before.

***THIS WAS ACTUALLY BRAD COREYS (RETIRED STG -SG)’s 2120. THANKS TO HIS FAMILY I OWN THIS****

That is awesome!

Very nice

That is soo cool

Nice!

These are rare panels aren't they? Loving the voice messages. I'm making my own voice evac system as well. Nice video!

You oughta try & see if the non-fire alarm messages (& potentially tones if there are ones besides slow whoop) can somehow be extracted out of the 2120 as those are important to archive given the 2120's rarity (& since the fire alarm message has already been extracted).

Ive got this same panel sitting in storage mine came out of my old high school in Michigan that was being demolished. I got the panel, speakers and strobe plates, speakers and light plates, pull stations. Only reason my trouble light is on is due to bad batteries. I have a old laptop with rs232 serial that I can use to talk to my panel. Do I plan on hooking it back up oh yeah I do. Might put it back into full time service as our primary local fire alarm system in my house.

That is so cool you have a 2120 with voice evac. I have seen many of these in buildings before but sadly most of them have been upgraded to a 4100es. There is still one in service that I am aware of that still is the original 2120. Do you still have your other panels up and running it be great to see a system test of all the panels.

Niiiiice!

That is old school i probably ran in to maybe 1 or 2 of those in the field still in use

Is there a cassette tape for the old 2001 voice thing somewhere?

Cool! I also have a recording of that message on my channel if you wanna hear it in its full glory. It seems like the default message on the 4100+/U/ES is just a remake of the original 2001/2120 message. I hope you can record the tones on that panel, that would be awesome, and the Drill message, too!

u have two, tone generators that can do slow whoop. Is one set to classic slow whoop, and the other a different pitch?
