Thanks, Darwin, and apologies for not noticing the chime dial(s) before. If you notice a serial number, please let me know and I'll plug it in but it won't affect the value so this is otherwise all set.
It works perfectly and has been serviced regularly by a professional. If you look at the face pictures you will see a selector on the left side that you can choose three different chimes. I will find the serial number the next time I’m in St George, and send it to you.
