That's a nice bell. Glad to see one of those in a collector's hands. Wheelock also manufactures fire alarm devices and 'Telestrobes', which flash when the telephone is ringing or off the hook. I think some of the ringing models also have a small piezo in them.
I'm curious to understand the wring configuration. Is this not a passthrough for the telephone line? Or would you use like a splitter and have one side going to a phone, and the other going to this bell? Thanks!!
Just got one and this thing is not very loud at all. It's powered solely on ring voltage for one. It has to be sent back and we will get a real bell that is louder and has more output for our customer's shop. I can also tell from your video that yours is not very loud either. This really cannot be heard in a shop or be heard over light machinery or music in a shop/garage environment. I can barely hear it in the next office over with both doors open.
I think it's not at a good frequency; the bell should have a lower pitch so it passes through walls better. I find it startling loud when in the vicinity of it, but with it mounted in the basement, I can't hear it upstairs above the other phones in the room.
@@JordanU The one I got is also very damped sounding. The thick paint/finish contributes to this very dead non-ringing sound. As well as being made from soft thick aluminum which adds to the deadness significantly. There is absolutely no engineering or quality put into this product. This is not at all made the way it should have been made and was expensive at $140 US.
It's very much in the wasted my time category. You don't make bells out of aluminum. You just don't. And it has a small steel striker. Hitting Aluminum. Yeah that's going to last long.
+Jordan U Sounds more like a fire alarm bell than a telephone. By the way, I love collecting sounds of all kinds. I have some phone ringtones of corded landline phones that I'm having a hard time trying to identify what companies and phone models the specific tones are associated with. If you send me an email, I can forward those tones to you, and maybe you could tell me what models and companies they are, if you're familiar with them. My email address can be found in the About page of my channel. By the way, I've subscribed to your channel. I like the way you describe the phones you work with. You have a pleasant sounding voice.

I can see the fire alarm resemblance in this..

There's no pass-through that I'm aware of.
If you have it outside, and it is night time and everybody is sleeping, and the phone rings, it would wake your neighbors up.
OK
Also doesn't Wheelock manufacture fire alarms?
I don't know anything about the brand, but some of the other comments here would suggest they do..
Wheelock Makes the fire alarms and manufacture
Yes
Nice job job Jordan hope you are going around your house
Why would I be going around my house?
I mean if you are putting around your house
What would I be putting around my house?
Putting the telephone around your house

Nice video of the Wheelock TelBell TB-593 Loud Telephone Ringer Jordan!
Thanks..
Why are you just copying the videos exact title and pasting it in your comment? That's cringey
@@NM_Tech I guess he likes to be precise.. That's not nearly as bad as half the other comments that crest this box's threshold..
@@NM_Tech - I know that. Sorry for the cringe.
The wheelock brand is common in fire alarm system equipment
Thanks for the information..
Could you do an initial check out of a AT&T cordless telephone with caller ID talking?
I don’t have one..
that's a general use bell they also make fire alarms too
OK
Sounds like the Wheelock MB G6-24 Fire alarm bell. It is made by wheelock and is a 6” bell so I’m not too surprised
Thanks for letting me know.
@@JordanU No Problem
Looks like you collect fire alarms like me
I don't, I'm not sure how it looks like that..
@Jordan U this is what it looks like when it is used for fire safety ua-cam.com/video/Qiv-j1dkLCY/v-deo.html
@@flozon5240 That doesn’t make sense..
@@JordanU Some fire alarms can be gray
@@flozon5240 Some geese can be gray; it doesn't make them a fire alarm
I like it
OK
Good ideas come to Athens New York
Come to Ashland New York to fix my cordless phone batteries cuz what if I'm broke when I was 20 years my Radio Shack phone
That doesn't make sense..

Yeah that's going to last long.
I would only invest in one of those things there was a way to silence it.
You can put a piece of paper or something in between the striker bar and where it hits the bell to make it quieter..
Wheelock is a fire alarm company.
OK
It's a school bell made by a phone co.
It's a ringer.

You're very welcome. By the way, do you have an Email address?
@@MsAussie83 Yes
Can I send you an Email with those phone tones?
@@MsAussie83 OK
Too loud to be used inside if you ask me.
For a quiet environment I agree..
Mitchell Armstrong that's because it's meant for places like warehouses and factories.
