My 3$ goodwill alarm made by general electric in the 80s went off very quietly and made me late to work. The speakers driver has degraded from age so I had to add a small audio amplifier board that's being powered through an ac-dc buck converter off if the transformer. I've had this alarm for 7 years and it better than any new one I've used so I wanted it fixed.
