The large MI logo on the other bell stands for Modern Industries

What do you mean by maintenance? What's wrong with it?

Right now it doesn’t work, even with a solid 12 VDC applied, how should the points be adjusted, we basically know nothing about this bell.
Thanks

Do you have any pics of the bell? Or a video of it?

You might have to crop your pics in order to post them on here.

Had no idea WRRS was around, unless you hopped into a time machine.
