I would imagine it was more obvious in situ, but hearing them all in succession I'm left wondering if so many different things all being indicated by similar horns like this ever caused confusion. I have to imagine they at least had them blast for different durations based on their purpose. _"Oh boy, it's finally lunch!"_ _"Nope, sorry, it's only __9:30__, they just opened the electrical room..."_

Hearing the 5410 go off brought me back to high school, an old 70s building outfitted with 4050s. Hearing tens of those things going off all at once and constant tone was quite aweful to us teenagers.

The fact some of these sounds are ones I deeply remember growing up means that many schools and buildings must have used a few of these or something very similar.

I do wonder if all older and newer Adaptahorns essentially use the same diaphragm but the difference in grill or projector design change the tone as voltage definitely does

@turbinatearc7478
Ай бұрын
Do NOT attempt to enter or take any items from any abandoned building without express consent of the property owner. This is illegal, immoral and dangerous. You can either get hurt, or worse get arrested and get off with a criminal record. Vintage Vibratone takes no responsibility for your actions; his lawyer told him to put a disclaimer at the start of this video.

I work with preservation groups and museums on the side, although it can be difficult otherwise. Best bet would be to look into public property records and reach out via email. I know a few individuals who have successfully recovered a few signals that way specifically during pre-demoes with construction crews.
