I think they must have been, Russell. Modern stuff, eh? Mine are in an Ultra Transistor 101 which is a pleasant-sounding radio. Incidentally I’ve checked again this evening and it would appear that no suppliers
anywhere have any stocks of AD28s. It looks like replicas are going to be needed from now on.
The divergence of this thread into doorbells has reminded me of the mechanical one on a friend’s front door in the 60s, loud enough to wake the street up and the equivalent of the Klaxon. On electric bells, my wife’s late aunt had lived in her bungalow for over twenty years when her ‘ding-dong’ doorbell stopped working. She insisted it must be mains-powered, as she’d never had to replace batteries. I fitted a new set of C cells and jokingly said that she probably needn’t worry about replacing them ever again. She was 85 at the time... and, sadly, time proved me right
