GEC 64D Bells

The GEC 64d bells are semi-weatherproof and can installed inside a house or in a reasonably sheltered position outside.
They are ideal if you need a neat small bell which is easy to install. They can be fixed to a wall or shelf, or just tucked out of the way.
The bell gongs are the same as those fitted to a 300 series telephone, so will have a loud melodious ring.
They are all in new unused condition and have been stored in their original boxes for nearly 30 years.
They are supplied with a two way adaptor and a three metre lead with a BT plug on the end.

Click to see a large image of Type 26 bellset I have located a forgotten stock of complete No 26 bell sets in my store. They are in good restored condition. No cracks and only very minor chips (if any). They are supplied with a cord and BT plug ready to use. These are original GPO bell sets from the 1940's to 60's, they do not have reproduction parts. First come, first served at this bargain price.

At this price only while stocks last.

Fully restored and polished

Bell set type 26 was designed as an extension bell inside the house. It is also custom made to fit under and to be attached to a type 232 telephone, but see note* below. 

The bells have a similar sound to a bell set 64d.

*Note:  The standard cover fixing screws are supplied. The special fixing screws to mount the bell set to a 232 telephone are available at £17 pair extra

 

Bell set type 1A is the older wood version of a No 26 bell set.

 

Other bells such as Danish and Belgian are also in stock. Please call me for details.

All these bell sets are supplied with a 3 metre cord and two way adaptor enabling them to be plugged in to a telephone socket. Simply unplug your existing telephone, plug in the two way adaptor and then plug your telephone and bell set into the adaptor. It could not be easier.
They are powered by the telephone line so do not need a mains socket nearby. They will work normally with both dial and modern push button telephones.

 If you are considering buying one of these bell sets because you are hard of hearing, it is well worth calling into the shop. I have a good selection of the 64d bell sets on display which have been specially adjusted for these circumstances. You can hear them ring and choose the one which suits you best.

Technical note.  I am often asked if they can be used as door bells. Generally speaking they cannot, as they are designed to be used on an AC system at a frequency of around 20-25 Hz.
