You can't go by the keypad look.  From the look of the panel can, it's a
BHS-2000 series circa 1995-2001.

Obviously.  You'll also want a siren, the old panels used speakers and a
built-in siren driver.

Tell the customer to keep the panel and KP just in case Broadview asks.
Chances are slim to none that they will, unless the Cx broke their

I doubt that's true, ADT corporate would not do that.

An independant ADT "authorized dealer" I wouldn't put it past though.
They probably had a programmer ripped off by a former emplyee, or they
bought one on the 'underground' market.
