Seen a few of them. Don't know why they were made so big, since it is all slim electronics. Do you still think there is any market for bell boxes that use real bells?

I fail to see why you would want mechanical devices that are quieter and can wear over a piezo.

Would have thought it was because they are more distinctive like the Piezo, I could have a go at designing something that looks modern and slim yet has a bell, like a EuroBell, just been thinking of manufacturing processes that could be used to make such a bell box..

a bell is expensive & really heavy

 

I'd assume a speaker & the sound of mechanical bell  would be the modern way to do it

Do you think people would buy it/be interested? Just a standard speaker like an extension style speaker? I know of an amplifier circuit and would be able to find some sort of sound generation IC out there.

Reminds me of them awful Scantronic Homelink panels, bell was replaced three times before it got ripped out for a wired one.

Didn't the box crack or flake apart?
