  • Review and test of a vintage Sears Early One smoke/heat detector.
    This smoke detector was made by Cerberus Pyrotronics, Inc. and rebranded Sears Roebuck & Co under their 'Early One' line of household smoke alarms. It is a relabeled Pyr-A-Larm GuardION model FB-1A, with a different cover design specifically for Sears and the added 135° heat sensor. This unit is from around 1980 and contains a Kobishi CLB-27 brass mechanical squealer horn. Neat old alarm.

    Cool unit and high pitched for a Sears unit. Rare as well as it is from 1980 and has a squealer horn,

    Very rare sears model to be seen currently. Not on a stupid high level but it's really cool seeing Cerberus Pyrotronics (Guardion) made heat sensor versions of their FB-1A. Makes me wonder if there's a legit FB-1A with a heat sensor built in.

      I feel like someone found a heat sensor FB-1A somewhere in a house? Or maybe it was a catalog/newspaper ad. Either way I definitely have seen a picture of one before.

    I saw the ebay listing. And on the description hilariously referred to my video of this model :)
    Apparently, the seller did some research and apparently found my video according to him saying youtube and I was the only person to post a video of this exact model. So based on that logic, I'm famous... :/

    My great grandparents had one of these and I was able to set it off with a balloon. However it did not have the heat sensor but had a LED light. I about got a hold of it but they threw it out.

    now a days can't find any heat detecting residential alarms at hardware stores - it is a specialty product i only see on manufacturer's websites and heat only, not combo. i admit on a ionization alarm the heat detector doesn't make sense because ion would pick up flaming fire pretty quick. could make sense combined with a photoelectric.

      True and also these days they only make standalone heat alarms, not combination smoke/heat alarms.

      They still make heat + smoke models but it is mainly for security system smoke alarms. Take a 5808LST for example

      @@BAFVintage yeah, security system detectors are residential in some installations or commercial, but the standard hardwired detectors, they do not offer it anymore.
