Take a listen to this clip. The GS bell here sounds a bit flat, and low pitched.

ugh, Sounds like a WCH E Bell, Must be a GS Type 2 or A Bad Circut Board Type 1

Well, why not? That horrid screeching sound compliments the upside down gate on the opposite approach signal.

I kind of like it.

Yeah, you watch and you'll see idiots stop on the tracks all the time too.

So, is it cheaper to replace an e-bell with a new one... or perhaps take an old one, work on the circuit board, and just swap refurb bells each time one croaks?

If memory serves me right, wasn't there a post on here or a pic on the website somewhere that showed that there was a WCH chip in a GS bell or vice versa??

That's one of Patrick's GS bells.
