But then again, this is Florida after all.

Edit: Look's like the video is refusing to embed for me, how do i fix this?
Just remove anything and everything after the video ID, like I've told you (and done for you) 20,000 times before...

Also, looks like you've got the wrong video anyways, as the one you're trying to embed is the one I posted above, so you'll probably want to make sure you have the right link this time as well:

Anyway, back to topic.

Here is a few crossings from South Korea with flat bells.




Horrible sounding buzzer.

That's actually Sulphur Springs, not Seminole Heights.

Maybe they could do with a little bit of oil?

One of the alarms on this crossing descends into a flatline.


I'm not very sure if this crossing had it's alarms replaced or toned down, as they sounded different 7 months earlier.

Here is a Pratt Avenue crossing in Poland, the mechanical bell to the far left only lets out two rings before it dies for the remainder of the video, the bell to the right has been horribly modernised with a buzzer.

Also rings a bit faster than average as well, I think.

Sounds like the hammer's starting to wear through the gong at the point of contact. Either that or it's been over-tightened. Loosening and rotating the gong could fix things up.
