Vulcan Autosonic Mk. SRO-4 Photoelectric Smoke Alarm

- Overview and test of a very old, very loud Vulcan.
This smoke detector was designed by Chloride-Pyrotector Inc. and branded by the Vulcan division of U.S. Safety and Engineering Corporation. This is one of the original residential photoelectric smoke detector designs, and there's some arguments on whether Pyrotector or ESL was the first to invent the residential photoelectric smoke detector. To this day it is unknown who was first. The Vulcan Autosonic Mark SRO-4 smoke detector is a transformer-driven AC detector that features an incandescent bulb photo-beam sensor (which doubles as a power indicator and possibly a night light), two neon lamp indicators (one for power and one for alarm) and a Delta-Larm mechanical squealer horn. Very neat old smoke detector, made sometime in the mid-late 1960's.

That thing looks awesome!!! Its super steampunk.
That Windows 7 sample music intro tho
The shell looks like solid brass. You can clean the oxidation up with a bit of brass polish and a rag. Use your elbow grease to really rub into it. I suggest putting some sort of clear coat on it after that because I have my great grandfather's solid brass United wall clock from 1959, and I have to polish it from time to time. I should think about putting clear coat on it.
Cool, I have a Vulcan smoke alarm that the battery is not made anymore, it is not hardwire, it still works with a 9V battery, so I can test it every now and then!
This is definitely made before 1972. Im going to say late 1960s but again maybe 1971 and it looks like very soon I will be the second owner of one of these. By the end of this month or early March I should have it as I won it yesterday. The one I am getting us untested but if it works at least I know what to expect sound wise and I do like this sound. Mine on the back the label is a bit ripped off towards the centre but that won't effect anything. The cover may need a cleaning as it is an very old item but still never the less I am very happy to be getting one as these don't pop up on ebay very often. :)
i was not ready for that sounding
That alarm is terrifying!
I found Seymour smokes sound
@@supergamingdoggo9975 yeah? I still feel just like that cat when the alarm goes off! (I'm out of here!)
I wish it was a bell
Ok its gonna go off now.
WOAH THERE WHAT IS THAT?!?!?
plus the second lamp got dim when you started to wave your hand to remove the smoke so i think the lamp tells you how much smoke was in the senser plus you can clean the sensor out because i saw screws holding it together
Apparently I'm not the only one who heard the huge similarity in the horn between this smoke detector and Seymour Smoke ! Maybe they got their sound sample from a Vulcan smoke detector
I always though Seemore Smoke sounded like a power drill
0:00 insert Sample windows music
This is from about the early 60s
no early 70s electric smoke alarms wernt on the market untill 1972
@@theshedproductions. I would say 1972 at the latest, It is older than me and I was born in 1973. I actually just recently purchased one on ebay. Mine needs a new bulb which I am hoping to purchase by this months end. looks like online is the only way to go. Mine doesn't make this high pitched beep but does a low buzzing hum which means trouble and the smaller lamp will light up so at least the unit works. Once I get the bulb things should work.
10:20 poor kitty finally jumped. like the First Alert SA76RS only about 20 times louder. What year is this from? I might have asked this before but I would have to say at least 1971 (two years before I was born) at the least by the looks of it. When was the first time the Delta alarm horn used in smoke detectors? Looks like a bell but sounds very different as you can see.
I like ur intro
So I have a very similar detector in my house in fact it might even work at least the light is on. I'm not into detectors, but it's cool that at least one person is into saving nice examples so anyway if you're interested in it it's yours. Just let me know.
If the light lights then it's definitely operational and working. I have one but I know of several other people who would want one. These tend to go on ebay for a decent price.
@@BAFVintage thanks for the info. I'm a bit of an ebayer anyway so perhaps I'll give it a shot.
I saw that your cat was done after the alarm went off!
what is the neon buld for an what dose it do except being just a light
Best video I’ve ever seen 🤣
HOW OLD IS THAT?!!
Probably from the 1970s
@@porkdoigoipaul3291 I was guessing that or else 1960s
was patented in 1968 so...
I had to unplug my grandparents old one because it just can't make it a loud ass really bad sound like once in a blue moon and it always happen early in the morning
omg move your poor cat
yo do I gotta call tiesto ikr
Dude dont b mean
I believe the Delta-Larm Sounders were 120vac, the one in my smoke guard 900A2.
DeltaLarm horns are 12VDC squealer type horns. This detector has a transformer to run the incandescent bulb and the horn.
You should get a weather radio, it counts as an alarm, right?
You are a v8 running on two cylinders go home you stein!
10:17 HAHA CATS ARE FUNNY
One day I might do another review of my alarms but with better lighting and stuff
Have you tried buying canes smoke?
no I haven't tried canes smoke yet
Dr. Foxx is there a difference between canes smoke and normal smoke? I would like to know.
That's one loud boi.
Seymour Smoke, was that you?
Nah I got burned by the toaster
10:13 Sounds like Seymour smoke the smoke detector.
I see more smoke coming from that toaster!
@@BAFVintage 🤣 Also, R.I.P., Gilbert Gottfried...😢
Justin Seymour????
Are fire ex G6 detectors photoelectric or initiation?
Ionization
Wow that’s bad
I’m gonna ionize your existence
What year was this made?
I saw a comment that stated that it was patented in 1968, so I'm guessing that's the year.
U call that a chirp when you plug it in?
Yes because that's what it's called 🤨
@@BAFVintage doesn't sound like a chirp
@@joannestealey4482 it's a small sound produced by the detector. That is what a "chirp" is
@@BAFVintage yeah I understand that but that particular sound it's just not what u u think of when u think of a chirp made by a smoke alarm but I guess alarms were different back then
"I MAKE THIS NOISE TO WARN YA!"
*10:13**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Looks like a bell
Cute cat in back ground. I got a cat to.
That's our old cat Nikki, she passed last year at 16. I love this video just because of her. .
@@BAFVintage Sorry she died. I know how you feel. I would feel the same way if my cat died.
I have 2 Statitrol SmokeGard 907A2 smoke alarms that were just removed from my home that I would be happy to sell to an interested collector
How much
@@TheClutzFromGrendalI will ship them to the highest bid
@@TheClutzFromGrendal Do you want to make an offer? I received another inquiry as well.
@@suerunge8890 no thanks but good luck on your bids

@@BAFVintage WoW rEaLlY?

I jumped lol 10:13
There's one of these on eBay btw
Yea and it's in much better shape than this one
Looks pretty old no wonder it couldn't detect it very well
I see a cat!
I think you might want to invest in some detector tester.
You really couldn't edit this video?
No I couldn't
from 1968 or so
10:13
it's ugly and scary
Jumpscare
Its not a detector, detectors tell fire alarms to go off . it is an alarm
