Brand name of unknown No.7 is "Micrel". Cheap base metal case and band with thin plating. Once I had one of these but kept the module only to transplant it to a nicer "Mercury Time" case. :idea:

Thank you LED, I have updated my post. If I remember correctly the Micrel had a different module to the Gruen or Mercury?

The module in the Micrel was a Frontier 2007. Which other alarm modules were made in the 70s?

I found one bad photo of the module, it's not a great photo but with the sealed QC it looks like a Litronix?
