Interesting bell I acquired NIB today. Runs on 6VDC or 8VAC.

That’s quite neat! It’s in excellent condition for its age too! I wonder if by any chance it’s one of the first bells that Edwards ever made (especially with the model number being so low).
What do you mean by “6VAC or 8VAC”?
That was just what was listed on the box.

Oh okay. The label confuses things even more since it says “60 cycles”, which would mean that it’s an AC bell, yet the line above that says “6V D.C.”.
is this a dual voltage model?
From my research, it appears all 55’s were.
Really? That’s surprising I’d say: heck I don’t even know how that would work, since normally a device is made for one kind of voltage or the other, not both (unless maybe it has two coils, one for DC, one for AC).
