The classic Rittenhouse Prelude aka Master Model model 550, originally would have come with the Master Controller aka the D-2 Timer, a small green box containing a mechanical (either motor-driven or Dashpot solenoid-driven) sequencing mechanism for the chime solenoids. It was a very unique chime system, confusing to many. I still see quite a few of these in service to this day. They also made a self-contained model with a built-in sequencer mechanism, the model 552.

Had it been complete with the D-2, it would have likely cost 3-4x what I paid for this. I have actually been looking for over a year for one, even before I got into fire stuff, I just wasn't willing to pay $600 for one. Someone is actually selling a replacement sequencer for it now, but this was easy enough to pull off with my fireseq x4. I've got it doing 16 note westminster w/noon gongs and am working on some other songs already.

@@TheCarson116 there’s a weirder story than that, that’s the infamous ghetto Vals. How many Vals do wheelock sync? Just this one hahahaha It was made from parts in a broken parts lots, I took a wheelock strobe, flipped the xenon tube to the other side of the board, and found a smaller capacitor, in order to fit the wheelock strobe into the empty Vals shell that was also from the same lot. I took two broken things and made one crazy working thing, then stuck it on that eh dl1 to make it even more of a bastard, it’s a wheelock circuit in that strobe though The code was copied from a video of a 2001 system , I’m guessing it was set on the coder card, I can try to recreate this with my 2001 now

@@TheCarson116 BTW, bridging that resistor together is the same exact thing a pull station would do.....this sort of explains what "explosion proof" stations were really meant for - keeping a spark inside the station. that same zone supervisory power would have been used to power smokes and such, if need be. this is a later zone module, that supports 2 wire smokes, earlier modules that didn't may not have had as much current on the line. It's not entirely unexpected behavior, though perhaps, a little "shocking!"

The xylotone is the only one that really sounds like a chime device. The executive and old one sound like an elevator or something, or like a kids toy of some kind. A bit like a vibraphone on a synth even, like the old Windows chime. You’re awesome for collecting so many old bells and chimes! Most people just get horns from the mid 20th century and such, but you get a lot of antiques and sweet devices, many are KZbin firsts!

there's actually a chime just like that, with a huge resonator to match, i'd love to find one but it's fairly uncommon. theoretically you can change the bars out, but there's some limits on how large you could go before the hanger bracket wouldn't work anymore. The bars on the two larger chimes look similar to a lot of other bars they would have made, particularly ones used in things like marimbaphones or orchestral bell sets. The xylotone's bar, I believe, is self-descriptive, it looks like a xylophone chime.
