Probably a WRRS bell, would need to see the back.

Love those classic TPC signals though, especially with how most of the original 8 inch lights are still there!

I plan on shooting it the next time I'm in Orange. Here's a clip of it, not my video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jG4iFPlPPE

Nice! Would love to get that on the site.

Here let's have a fun challenge of figuring out what this was (An NEG E Bell replaced it)

Looks like an us&s electronic bell to me.

Never seen one like that. GS base, US&S? Body, and a ??????? Cap.

Possibly a prototype US&S e bell???? Or just some bell with swapped out parts. We will never know.

Kinda looks like an ASC-GS-US&S hybrid. My best guess is that it was originally a GS type 1, and then the top parts broke off somehow, then they put a reused us&s bell with a makeshift cap.

It almost looks like a prototype GS Type 1 by looking at the color of it.
