| The
bell's base has a part number stamped on it. This bell is an older 1st
gen model as it has the single base. |
The side
of the bell. |
The door features the WCH
logo on the back of the bell. |
My bell
for
some reason lacks the nut for where the oil would normally go when
oiling the bell up, yet the rainshield has the cut out for where the
nut would be at. |

The
internal
components are quite different when compared to a

the Bryant Zinc mechanical bells. |

| The
hammer
assembly which is made out of metal. On later versions like 2nd and the
current 3rd gens, this is made out of plastic. This is responsible for
the mallet to strike the gong. |
The
armature and the screw is where you adjust the ring rate for the bell. |
The
positive and negative terminals are located to the left of the
electromagnents. No idea what the extra terminal is for. |
The
electromagnent has a label with the part number on a gold plate. |

| Both
electromagnents have the same part number labels on them. They appear
to be in excellent condition. |
The paper
work on the door is in excellent condition with the serial number being
fully readable. |
The door
has a part number stamped on the inside. |
The
locking
mechanism features a bolt and lock and bolt system. This replaces the
older locking mechanism that was featured on WRRS mechanical bells due
to the latch breaking easily. The bolt for the bottom went missing
after I opened the bell. |
