BACK to Church Bell Restoration
St. Andrews By the Sea
Saltaire, New York
ALL NEW HARDWARE FABRICATED
The 391 lb. Meneely Troy bell cast in 1924 needed complete restoration. The salt air had deteriorated all the original cast iorn hardware and the solid oak beams.
The bell was removed from the tower and taken to the Chime Master shop where we designed, fabricated and installed all new swinging hardware; a new headstock, "A" stands, wheel and frame.
The completed assembled bell assembly was returned and reinstalled.
All new steel components were hot dip galvonized and powder coated for decades of protection from the elements.
400 lb. Meneely Troy Bell after complete restoration, original patina was left intact.
