Default Re: Vintage French Doorbell - Surely not 220V AC working!!!

Clearly marked 500 OHMS on each of the two coils.
(Yes, there is continuity between the terminals at 1000 OHMS resistance)
Looks suspiciously like the spec of a type 59A telephone bell to me with polarised armature. Have you a telephone magneto you could try it on? Or a 25 - 75V a.c. supply at a frequency of either 16 2/3 Hz or 25Hz?
