We need a Bell Ringing Mechanism for our church. The bell is about 16"
tall and about 16" in diameter. It has a clapper with a hole in the
bottom that was formerly activated by a simple *mechanism that
frequently failed. The mechanism pulled a rope attached to the
clapper.

We do prefer an electrically operated mechanism that we will simply
switch on and off for the duration of the ringing.

So any ideas?

Thanks

I forgot to say or look at them to get ideas and make your own. This
youtube link shows one version and it's funny.
