Buffalo is still using the Gamewell system! Many/most of the street
boxes were removed long ago, though there are a few still in place here
and there, but building fire alarm systems are still connected to it.
The high school I worked in for over 30 years still today has a Gamewell
box in the basement right next to and connected to the modern fire alarm
panel that was installed <10 years ago. I used to have to show the fire
dept. personnel where it was when it had to be rewound when an errant
child would pull an alarm or a chemistry experiment went bad in the lab
or the drama teacher would smoke in the auditorium in January ...
