Nope, that original doorbell button will last forever. Some cheap Chinese modern button might not last a year.
I still am waiting on the neat doorbell buttons like they have in TV shows that has a 30 FPS full HD color and infrared camera with sound built in. And the camera hole is so small no one will notice!
Monday is back.
It is almost strange driving the Elky and the speedometer needle is just dead steady, like a speedometer is supposed to be. I replaced the OEM speedo with the giant 55 and no trip odometer with a unit I got from EBAY, and had it "rebuilt" buy someone in California that evidently had no idea what he was doing. It has had a bounce to the needle for the last 200.000 miles or so. It finally started squalling like a banshee so I had to get it rebuilt again. I found a guy in Ohio that has a third generation speedometer shop. They have been in business since 1927. I doubt they rebuilt many speedometers in 1927 since cars were pretty new and basic back then.
They had to replace several parts, new bearings and repainted the face of it to get the gear selection correct for the 4 sped and automatic overdrive transmission I put in 10 years ago. I got it installed Saturday and it is wonderful. It is essentially a new speedometer. The set it to the mileage I told them. I think I gained about 50 miles in reality. That is an error of 0.00014285714 % and I will consider that close enough.
