@@Will-o5u Aww thank you I missed you guys as well. Im actually not on Discord. I had to get rid of it. It slowed my laptop right down and I don't like using it on my phone (I know that is showing my age....just kidding) But I do go on messenger in the Fire Alarm Forum on Facebook where I was last night!!!! :)
My neighbour upstairs was still up as she had today off work but I still asked if this was okay to set off. she said sure. I don't often if ever set them off at that hour.
@@janeaton3417 Well there we go I guess. Since this model is also known as the POC-76B, and the wired one was the POC-76A, there were two others out during that time that do not include an AC/DC model: POC-76BL - Battery powered with LED POC-76M - Hardwired interconnectable.
@@Undercoverelevator212-s2n My parents had this unit in their old house in the laundry room and my Dad for some reason brought only that unit to our other house we moved into in 1981. It was also in the laundry room and remained there until the mid 1990's. This unit sat on a shelf in the crawl space for quite sometime after before being pitched however I clearly remember it saying Westclox Smoke Signal on the cover and had the same PCB board and insides but somehow I seem to remember it taking a 9 volt battery. It sounded exactly like this. There is a video of a Westclox smoke signal that runs on a 9 volt with a much different PCB board and insides and does a pulsing squealer horn. I have the travel version (Westclox Portable Smoke Alarm that came with a purple travel bag that has the same pulsing tone as well as the horn and sensor. and has a test switch) As well I have the brown travel Westclox Smoke Signal alarm (it says it on the cover) that has a shrunken down version of the upside down sensor and horn but runs on a 9 volt battery and has a quieter but continuous squealer horn and all units are from 1978.
@@janeaton3417 The 9-volt model was the POC-78B. I know there also was an unknown model with a test button (maybe POC-79B or something), and then there was the 83083 in the SA76RS-esque casing.
@@Undercoverelevator212-s2n Oh ok so there was a 9 volt model then with that same PCB however it had Westclox smoke signal in raised lettering on the cover??? This is what I wasn't sure of. And yes there is a collector who has the rare and maybe only 83083 ins the SA76RS style casing. (NLind) The Westclox my parents had lacked a test button but I have seen pictures online of the one that had one. 1978 must have been a big year for Westclox smoke alarms.
Awesome video!!!
Thank you. I am still in shock it worked as well. Im happy as heck now!!! :) :)
@janeaton3417 We missed you and we're glad your back!!! Have a wonderful day 😊

Does it latch into alarm until its power is cut like the 120V model?
That I am not quite sure but from what I got out of this test it is a very good yes. These things as I have noticed will sound for sometime,
