The bells have a similar sound to a bell
set 64d or a 300 series telephone.
---------------------------------------
GEC 64D Bells in mint unused condition
The GEC 64d bells are semi-weatherproof and can installed inside a house or in a
reasonably sheltered position outside.
They are ideal if you need a neat small
bell which is easy to install. They can be fixed to a wall or shelf, or just
tucked out of the way.
The bell gongs are the same as those fitted to a 300
series telephone, so will have a loud melodious ring. The design and use of these bells date
from the 1930's. They are powered by the telephone line and do not need to be located near a
mains socket. They are all in new
unused condition and have been stored in their original boxes for nearly 30
years.
They are fully converted with three metre lead with a BT plug
on the end ready to plug in.
The base is painted matt crackle black, and the bells and cover are gloss black.
£25.

Bell
set type 1A is the older wood version of a No 26 bell set.
Other bells such as Danish and Belgian are also in stock. Please call me for details.
All these bell sets are supplied with a 3 metre cord enabling them to be plugged in to a telephone socket.
Two way adaptor £1.75
Simply unplug your
existing telephone, plug in the two way adaptor and then plug your telephone and
bell set into the adaptor. It could not be easier.
All these bells are powered
by the telephone line so do not need a mains socket nearby. They will work
normally with both dial and modern push button telephones.
*If you are considering buying one of these bell sets because
you are hard of hearing, it is well worth calling into the shop. I have a good
selection of the 64d bell sets on display which have been specially adjusted for
these circumstances. You can hear them ring and choose the one which suits you
best.
Technical note. I am often asked if they can be used as door bells. Generally
speaking they cannot, as they are designed to be used on an AC system at a frequency of around 20-25 Hz.

Please call me (Gavin Payne) by telephone if you wish to place
an order for a telephone, spare parts, or have an enquiry. I can usually
be reached 9.00am to 5.45pm any day, including weekends. Calls in the
evening are not appreciated and could make me very grumpy. The number is

I am in the shop
most Saturday and Sunday mornings between 10.00 and 12.00. These are the
only times I am in the shop for the sale of spare parts, conversions and
repairs.
Conversions and repairs can often be carried out while you wait.
If you have a telephone that you want to know more about, or
have it
repaired or converted, please have it right next to you when you call.
Please also have a selection of small flat bladed screwdrivers to hand. I do not give advice for DIY repairs or conversions or valuations of any
kind over the telephone or by email. Please bring the telephone to my shop
for assessment, but always call me first before bringing it in.
