It does not have a bell, oddly. What I did on mine was disconnect the wire from the Fire relay to the Large Bell and run one from the 10K relay to it. Sounds a helluva lot better, though I did put a piece of tape on that bell to dampen it because it's so loud. The small bell already goes off when you get a rocket, so I don't understand the thought behind the original set up. I did see a pic of a Rocket with an added bell for 10K, but I think it's unnecessary.

Funny thing: I didn't disconnect the wire from the Fire relay initially and got a rocket for every 10K hit.

PS-schematic confirms no 10K bell

I don't think the electrical schematic would show a mechanically operated bell, since it doesn't have a dedicated coil.

I had a Rocket,there is a bell,and the step up unit is its knocker,no extra wiring or coil is needed. I no longer have the game,but do have a pic of this. Hope this helps....

Actually my game does have a bell as well. In the photo above what is missing is the metal ring that attaches loosely to the end of the clapper.

It is the standard Williams set up that was used in the early 60s on sideways mounted match units. As opposed to the later style where the match unit was mounted perpendicular to the rear door.

I'm not sure mine has the labels or not, but I'll check when I get a chance.

Interesting this topic came up as I had to service that very bell a few days ago as it was out of adjustment.

It is not the first time Williams attached a bell to a stepper as I had a much older, different style on my Pinky, however it seems very unique to late 50s even real early 60s that mostly used remote bells until about 1962 I think.

John’s Jukes had one a while back. I got one cheaper on eBay. Don’t believe PBR had it.

Well hell, I see that I'm mistaken. Mine has the arm and a spot where a bell was. Dunno how I missed that. Maybe it was all the mouse nests in the cabinet that distracted me. Any rate, I will get you pix of the bank and cabinet relays as soon as I can.

Pix didn't work well, but here in order from the front: Bank (skipping dashes): 567, 456, 345, 234, 123, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, No. Match Cont., 5th Ball, Game Over, No. Match, Game, Tilt. Cabinet: Lock, Set Up, Scan, Eject, Count Down, Roll Over, Hole, Control, RO Buttons (Trip and Latch).

I saw your post in the parts seeking thread. That arm with the washer attached is kind of hard to come by these days.

Sometimes it takes buying an entire used match unit or stepper with the bell attached to acquire one. Still not easy to find compared to the newer style from about 1965 on.

On one of my games, someone just used a screw and a few nuts to attach a washer loosely to the end of the arm where it was missing and it works fine. I think it is by having that washer mounted loosely that gives it the unique sound.
