Topic: outdoor loud bell

[Markk]

Does anyone have an outdoor bell they can part with cheap? I tossed all my old stuff when I retired, now I have a good friend who has asked me to replace his driveway bell.

Crap.  I did until about a month ago.  One of the old dual MaBell outdoor ringers.

I'll ask if it's still out there, but I think the property sold.

I think I have a new Wheellock loud bell on the shelf. I can check tomorrow.

I'll look in the dreaded basement....

I just did a house cleaning and tossed out 2 of them! I used them in small ma & pa motels.  It always happens!   

[Markk]

I did the same thing as you guys, I started cleaning out and tossed a couple of them. Let me know if you find something, thanks, I appreciate it.

I'll check with my Patel "friends" and see if any have one.....they never get rid of anything! 

[Markk]

Hey Dave (RBF)  did you have any luck on that ringer?  Mark

Mark -

Call me, I may have what you want. If you haven't got my number PM me with yours and I'll call you.

Mark... just got in.The unit I have is a new Wheelock UTA-WH-VPS. I'll test it tonight. If it'll meet your needs and tests good it's yours for a 6 pack plus shipping.

[RATHER BE FISHING]

This unit may be an over kill for you. It has the strobe that flashes phone on a strobe and choice of 4 different ring/chime tones. The down side is you have to have it power by 115VAC outlet. I used them in jet engine rebuild factories for the loud bell and strobe. I used a standard power cord terminated on the circuit board for power. So you'd have to have a power plug nearby out of the weather. It is new in box.

It's yours if you want it.

There are a bunch on ebay but seem pricey

Have you tried Radio shack they once had a 75ba type bell for about $20

[Markk]

Dave, that is overkill and there's no nearby electric. Thanks for looking.

Ken, they are pricey everywhere, and radio shack doesn't have anything with a bell that will live long in the Pa. weather under a little overhang.
Thanks.

Sam I'll PM you my number.

Mark, Glenn got back with me and unfortunately they did not grab that bell off the shelf in the shop when they sold his parents' house.  It just sold about a month ago though.  If Sam doesn't have what you need, I can make a trip over there, knock on the door and see if the new owners will let me go out there and get it, assuming it's still there.

[Markk]

I don't want anyone to go out of their way Trace. I thought it would be easy to find one here, if not my friend will just have to buy one on line somewhere. I PM'd Sam
Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply.  Mark, I'm pretty sure that I have some of the gray Wheelock 'firebells', but they are 24 Volts, DC.  Will that be of any use for you?

[Markk]

Sam sent me a Line powered bell from GTE that works fine, so thanks Ed but I'm covered.

Thank You Sam, It arrived today and works fine, pretty heavy duty for a house but it's a very rural area and will be better then the old one.

I owe you one Sam. Thanks. Mark.

[silversam]

No problem. My pleasure.
