When I have a severely rusted bell, I get them sandblasted and repainted. On the bell I fully restored, the pitch did slightly change, but the sound was richer.

to be E-bells or speaker bells are a bit weird to me, I just find mechanical ones to be cooler, as they make a unique sound compared to the E-bells / speaker bells

Very nice collection my dude!! Have you been able to get the wing nut off the teardrop bell yet? I've restored two of them before and I know my way around working on these kind of bells. Yes wd-40 or PB Blaster would work but here's a tip, tight the wing nut to close the door, take a wire brush to clean the threads, lubricate the threads, and see if it unscrews easier. If not, try heating up the wing nut with a torch if you have one. I be happy to help you out with any other problems if you need any additional advice or help.

Thank you! No I have not, though I have somebody already willing to restore this bell for me, and I should have sent off whenever I get my AdSense working. Thanks for the offer though!

Nice bells and video. I was wondering I'm trying to get some new parts for my safetran signals and I can't find where to go and can't find it on seimens website. Could you give me a link to any brand new safetran arms brackets and lights?

Flandox Here is a list: -eBay -Antique Shops -Markets (country markets can have some rare stuff) -Craigslist -As the person above me said, try asking a worker who is replacing a bell to see if they can give it to you Good luck!
