When we bought the house, there was already a non-communicating, older
Napco system installed. I moved the panel, upgraded to 9600, integrated
with  HA system, installed additional Napco relays, wireless, and inputs
and added sensors. I bought most all of this through a mail-order
company with which you are very familiar and had my questions answered
by you when I got stuck.

But many of the original sensors and wires were indeed "recycled". Silly
not to. They still work perfectly. I _am_  a little surprised that those
somewhat dubious looking contacts have never failed after more than 20
years.

I have a change-over question. Is it 'acceptable' practice to have two
systems on the same sensor? There are EOL resistors on most everything.
