So, I have tried a bit of digging in re this Bell Sounds tape and speaker, which I do have...  In looking at old Kibri catalogs on Conrad Anituario, I do not find any mention of the Bell Tape and Speaker. What I have found is that at one time it was 7156:  but in the 1971 Kibri catalog "7156" became the number for "Windmühle" in N-scale, so they renumbered it 9762 to match the range for HO churches in the catalog (although one could, with a bit of finagling, use it for N-scale also...). So, my question is this: Was this Bell Sounds a "Dealer Promotion" only, to be suggested (oh, those "add-ons!") for those purchasing any of the churches on market? That is what it seems to be to me, and that is not a bad thing, but it is a puzzle. Any ideas? Just wondering  Also wondering years of production, if even available... Thanks! |

Interesting question… I’m curious as well. (Regarding sound, if I remember correctly, Lionel offered a 45RPM recording of station sounds sometime in the 50s: that was pretty high tech for its time.)

I had one of the best cassette recording decks made in the late 70's. An Aiwai "wedge". It had Dolby noise reduction, and left/right channel level and bias control. The transport door and eject mechanism was oil damped. It even had a dust cover. I loaned it out once, and they ruined the heads. Cars no longer have casette nor CD players.

Hi
On a much less nostalgic and poetic note, when you have a CS3, you may store sounds (I use a 32 GB SD memory card)
You may edit sounds using free software like Audacity (editing and exporting in .vaw ,.MP3,...)
With the CS3 you may use the internal loudspeaker or an external one.
The CS3 may release sounds like any other command using events.
Needless to say that the source of sounds on Internet is limitless.
Sorry for this intrusion in today's possibilities.
Cheers

I should add that one side-source mentioned it (9762) as "For 9760 (now 39760) Kibri Roman church Jakobwüllesheim" - it is even the back shadow on the box lid, but having a bit of trouble tracking down when 9760 church was first offered. It makes some sense number-wise, but why link it to only one church kit?...the puzzle puzzles more...  (p. s. - I am going to use it for my "Glockengieserei" - Quasi checking out the new bells...  ) (p. p. s. - I also checked Forum Alte Modellbahnen and Bahnbauten HO/TT/N under "Kibri" and I did not find any info on 9760 or 9762) (p. p. s. s. - Worthpoint even sold these 2 as a "set" a while ago... https://www.worthpoint.com/worth...rch-9760-bell-3774925850 ) Edited by user 10 June 2023 14:20:48(UTC)

I consider that I may not looking in the right place...  happens a lot... but I have found a couple old Kibri price lists out there (1 on conrad antiquario) and neither the 9760 church nor 9762 bell tape are even listed. I can imagine that not all models might make it into a catalogue, possibly (space; editing; etc.), so might these have been on the "Impulse Buy" shelf or at least in the beginning as a "Limited Time Offer"? Or kind of like Märklin's "Twin-Pack" cars offered by the dealers as an ex-catalog offering? The more I search, the more confused I get (granted, I started out fairly high on the confusion factor ) Thanks! |
