The decay was set by tapering off the supply voltage to 4 or maybe 5 LC oscillators, so Q didn't matter. It sounded pretty good. ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/Ships_Bell.JPG A refinement would be to have a separate decay rate for each oscillator, since some harmonics of a real bell fade at different rates from others. Yikes, I remember thousands of schematics but can never recall where I left my glasses. John

I restored a GQ generator on a WW2 sub that used a geared motor to trigger a damped oscillator with mechanical contacts. Of course it was all tubes. T

The sound of those bells may even be available on some sound effect sites for free.
