I think it was the internal bell box that housed the relays for the alarm system and the battery for the SCB module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGS Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 It actually looks like an old Alertalarm manufactured in Southport Lancashire a long long time ago. I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this bellbox had a large relay in it and a giant resistor to charge the battery Wouldn't of used a resistor as it used a dry cell battery. Probably right about the large relay.
