The WRRS bell that was on my flashers I got is non functional, just kind of quivers when I put power to it. Anybody near Kokomo, IN that knows how to rebuild these and get them running again? Thanks Mike

Never mind, I got it going again, lots of corrosion and dirty contacts were the main problems, along with a big bee's nest under the bell itself. Looks like the bell was under water at some point from all the crud inside when I opened it up. Has tons of slop/wear in the linkages but will self start and ring pretty much every time I put power to it. Mike

No pics from before I washed all the crud out and removed the nest. but here are a couple from how it is now. Atleast it works again. I wont use it much once I get my signal up(waiting on concrete to cure). Don't ya just love the green patina on the black paint!! Mike
