I have bought on old Bakelite GEC electric doorbell that I really would like to use, but am having real problems trying to find a transformer. The doorbell has 100-110v printed on it and 2 copper coils. It won't work with my modern 12v bell transformer, but I have checked it by plugging in a 12v DC battery charger and making contact with the terminals and it rings lovely. I've tried a LED light 12v AC/DC, 18watt transformer but there's not enough power to make it ring. Also I have spent all day ringing different electrical shops and nobody seems to be able to come up with a solution or product I can buy. I've found out that they used to work with Friedland transformers, but there's different ones on ebay etc and I don't know which model number I would need. If anybody could help with any suggestions I would be really grateful as I would love to have this in my home. Thank you
