I installed a ton of those panels back in the 80's, and still have a lot of
them out there making money. They are bulletproof, but the keypads do wear
out. I am upgrading them now as I can. I keep some spare parts, but when my
supply of boards and keypads builds up I sell them off. There are plenty of
dealers out there looking for spares. Heh, you mentioned a DSC PC1000; I'll
be taking the last one of those off line next week. This particular PC1000
has run for almost 20 years without a problem.
