Default Re: Incorrect bell?

Excellent. Thank you all for your responses. So it must have been rung by a separate voltage applied across another pair of wires.

I will have a look around for a similar bell rated at ~4000 Ohm and suitable for use on an AC circuit.

Can someone indulge me as to what would be required to make this DC bell work with an AC line?

And also; is the pair of wires wired back to the exchange from the hook an unusual thing too? I assume that would have been used to indicate when the line was in use. If so I'm surprised by that. Presumably it's possible to discern this from the "A/B" line?
