Does anyone who runs both core sizes have a method for reliably adjusting reel arm bells for suitable timing with 8in core?
Our bells are on Simplex 35/70 arms:

Of course the exploded diagrams have no mention of the bells we have installed. We have a batch of new 8in core 70mm house reels now... and they are silent. We have run without bells, but nice to have if doable.
It's quite possible the bells are designed for 5in core and aren't even adjustable. I'll snag a photo of our bell setup tomorrow.
