Re: Advent Maintenance required

[Gregory Russell <gfr10598 gmail com>]

Thank you!!
I agree that this is an indicator that it would be good to do a broader
check sometime soon that nothing else is working loose.
If we don't have one already, we should start a log book (online or
physical) to keep track of what has happened in the past, and what
maintenance or checks have been performed recently.  In my experience, many
bells require virtually no attention, and a small number of bells end up
having recurring problems.
