And here's one I recorded in Mars Bluff, SC, late last year:

And here's a sick NEG e-bell I recorded in Tanner, AL, back on New Years Eve:

Here's a very bad RACO/Griswold bell out in California:


Almost sounds like the hammer's worn through the gong!

Woof... the track conditions look terrible all around the line there on Google Maps.
But it's maintined. Kinda.

The second to last crossing in this video certainly features a rather flat-sounding pair of Safetran bells:

Here's a WCH mechanical bell that sounds like the gong is cracked:


This Hybrid bell's also fairly worn-out:

This GS E bell on the KCS Heavener Sub sounds like its trying to emulate a Westinghouse Hybrid bell. Crossing in question is at 15:41. GS Type 1 possibly?

The signal shown in the video looks to be newer and the bell on it's a GS Type 2, so I'm gonna guess the bad bell there's a GS Type 2 as well. Or at least supposed to be one, lol.

Here's another bad-sounding GS Type 2, though not as off as the one in the above posts:

Another very-off-sounding GS Type 1 here, thanks to the fog at the time of recording:
