It is even worse now, i am a member of the preserved railway it is located on, when i get more active there i will look at fixing it if i can, otherwise if it is beyond repair i will place a new mechanism inside it!

Have a clip of it from this summer, will upload it!

Here is how it sounded this summer, has not gotten any better

One of the bells at Stephens Road in Canterbury has started sounding rather rough and flat!

Here is a pair of some weak sounding WABCO teardrops on a crossing in Italy.


The WABCO mechanical bell on the signal closest to the camera sounds rough, as for the teardrop on the further signal, it sounds rather flat.


This Safetran mechanical bell, IMO sounds a bit flat.

The bell completely doesn't work now, except for the motor letting out a very silent vibration during lowering sequence. It does let out a faint little ring though around 1:45 if you do listen carefully.

Sounds like this Safetran m-bell clicks a couple of times and dies:

Bad Safetran here:

These bells don't sound too great.

Here's a WCH e-bell that's a bit messed-up:


EDIT:
Here's another one:

Some more bad WCH e-bells:


This one also sounds pretty unusual:

The second one almost sounds like a Japanese or Korean E-bell!
