$275 for a wch mechanical bell without a base in my opinion seems to be too much. It does appear to be in working order based on how newish the insides are.

Tbh the newer insides almost deter me, I heard from a maintainer that they warp really badly. It is still high tho.Nascar Fan007 wrote: Mon Dec 07, 2020 11:59 pm $275 for a wch mechanical bell without a base in my opinion seems to be too much.

Seems like a decent price to me, the only things you may consider buying the light is giving it a clean and maybe a lick of paintUnionPacific4Life wrote: Fri Dec 18, 2020 10:21 am How's $200 for a harmon light?

Re: This price seems a little too high...
This isn't a super high price(still more than what I would pay), but I don't think this bell is from General Signals...

Yeah, but 200 for one seems way too expensiveNathanFromEngland wrote: Sat Dec 19, 2020 4:21 pmSeems like a decent price to me, the only things you may consider buying the light is giving it a clean and maybe a lick of paintUnionPacific4Life wrote: Fri Dec 18, 2020 10:21 am How's $200 for a harmon light?

$800 dollars for a Raco bell in unknown working condition seems to be way too much.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/274876654484?h ... SwHF1g-bC4
That and the shipping price the seller has really adds up to almost $900 dollars being spent.

Anyone else see that gong-less Hybrid that got up over $3,000 on eBay back in June?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/324679881899?h ... SwGqRgyjPQ Sure I’ll pay 500+ for a measly aluminum WRRS bell without a base!

Bells go "ding". Lights go "flash". And the WCH Gate Mechanism at Kirkwood Road goes "chigRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".
