UNITARIAN CHURCH BELL RINGER 1984 Fairhaven, MA

The late Dana Reeves, who was editor of The Fairhaven Advocate in the mid-80's also rang the 14 bronze bells, weighing in at almost 7-tons at Fairhaven's most famous church.
This clip reveals the inner workings of the manual and automated bell array.
Dana Reeves demonstrates. Interview and clip by MLBaron . The 1984 video quality is fair. Restored from a vintage 3/4-inch tape from the MLBaron Historic Archives.
*ML's Note: Dana was a true journalist and editor of The Advocate in the mid 1980's. FYI - Broadcast video tape, along with clunky video cameras delivered horrible pictures and resolution even with the original footage, back in the 80's, when I ran the local public access TV station. If the tapes haven't been transferred and digitized by now, including your own VHS stuff, they may be lost forever. The shelf life of an average VHS tape is about 15-years.
