Since I made the original video of my Simplex 4050 back in 2016, I have acquired a new transformer which provides the proper voltage and amperage needed for the horn to effectively sound. Also featured is a recently acquired Simplex 4251-20. I'm hoping this video finally does this vintage horn justice.
Who knows, this may be making an appearance in a certain new years tradition I have...we'll see...
DISCLAIMER:
It is a FELONY to pull a fire alarm in public to falsely report a fire (i.e. "Just for fun"). A fire alarm in a public building should only be pulled if there is actually a fire or other emergency. However, this is being activated in a controlled and legal environment, an enthusiast's test setup. No fire departments were called when activating the alarm.
I AM NOT responsible for any legal damages done for pulling a false alarm, or for any seizures. These are your decisions, not mine!
