A "Servisignal" bell manufactured by the J.C. Adams Co. (JACO) of Rexdale Boulevard, Toronto. The bell is electrically powered, but triggered when a car runs over a pressurized rubber hose. From a day when this was a signal for "full service" when you pulled into a gas station.
Below, from the web:
This product appears to have been made under license in Canada by the J.C. Adams Company, which was also the Canadian distributor for Fram filters in the 40's and 50's.

Just picked one of these up at a yard sale.
I was disappointed when I took it apart.
the diaphragm was brittle and broken and the magnet was missing.
The diaphragm was an easy fix but the magnet was trial and error.
but I managed to combine mini magnets the correct diameter to actuate properly.
not much online about this brand.
This was the first site I stumbled upon.
What did you use a material for the diaphragm? Or were you able to purchase one?
