And so I stand corrected!  strange that. Were they always made by Pyronix? I could swear I saw one on eBay, which had Ventcroft guts in it, with the piezo cover saying 'VENTCROFT' either way, it's a bell box and it does a job. Were the Castle Care Tech ones made by Ventcroft? The insides of them also look very similar to Ventcroft.

Both of those bell modules are definitely Ventcroft, look identical

LOL! It was the only one on Google, sorry. Mine is all the way under my bed too, so it wouldn't be worth me getting it out. They all look like the Ventcroft ones, In My Opinion. Either way, they're all good, Ventcroft products are excellent.

Next to the pile of Security Installer mags and crusty sock? 

The litlle red ni cad battery cover was a ventcroft thing.... however the pcb in a little clear box was done by Gardtec from the early 90's

Yep, probably, and a few other bits and bobs, mainly alarm panel circuit boards, got an ADE Ultimate board under there, some were. I'd love some old security magazines from the 90s, showing off all of the alarm equipment.

You learn something new every day  So, that little board, and the awful sound it can produce is actually Gardtec? One thing I don't like about Ventcrofts is the fact that they only have a screw tamper, no back tamper.
