I bet the capacitor that charges up to activate the strobe tube is starting to die in that slow light plate. If you know anything about electronics, read up on how xenon flash tubes work, as they are the ones used in most of these alarms for strobes. Usually to achieve the strobing effect the flash tube is in parallel with a capacitor, which in turn is connected in series with a limiting resistor so that the capacitor charges in parallel with the tube on a time delay. Once the capacitor reaches the ionization voltage of the flash tube, the tube suddenly goes short, discharging the cap almost instantly, but the excited xenon gas doesn't stay ionized for long after the voltage drops when the capacitor discharges, so it releases the energy as light when it calms back down to ground state. What happens when the capacitor gets old is that the equivalent series resistance, or how much the capacitor opposes flow into and out of it, gets high because of age and slow evaporation of the aging electrolyte inside of it. Eventually, this resistance gets so high that it has trouble charging and discharging like normal, causing a slow or even dead strobe like you showed. A telltale sign of this in consumer electronics, namely power supplies, is a whining sound as the capacitor tries its hardest to charge to no avail. Be wary of some of these capacitors that act this way, as Taiwanese brands from the latter part of the 90s and early to mid 00s were notorious for using the wrong electrolyte formula: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague Further reading material: Electrolytic capacitors (as I explained here): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_capacitor Xenon flash tubes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashtube#Xenon I hope you find this info useful. I'll be looking forward to future videos. And all the wiki links I placed are not my go-to sources, of course, they are simply there if you wish to read more into the topic. :)

I like these older alarms. They have a certain charm.

Instablaster...
The new alarm fast marchtime
I remember now the fire alarm with the horn and strobe is broken or the light bulb needs to be fixed.
Common 2901-9833/6020 glitch
Marching on of: Bep bep bep. My march time BEEP BEEP BEE0 BEEP
You can adjust the flash rate of it
Strobe is not available
Your alarm is beeping to fast boyy
System y Dylan
Hi
2:32
Does fast march time, doesn't it?
5:00 Wow is so loud
simplex 2901-9833 broke
I agree
