The keypads, panels, siren drivers, power supplies, chargers and relays
you send to Jim Rojas at www.tech-man.com.  He loves that sort of stuff.
  The smoke detectors (if they've been removed from a customer's premise
and are over ten years old), you dispose of in "a safe and
environmentally friendly way".
