The important stuff to figure out is the bell. So since you say "I will use MOSFET", for now how do you drive it ?
Is the bell really a 3V one ? it look pretty rare. Do you have a picture of the bell, because old ones are usually 12 VAC.


Sorry, I've been busy, didn't have much time to tinker. My Vigortronix AC/DC 3W, 3.3V came in yesterday, so I'll get back to this topic soon and post back my findings.

The bell is actually a 3V, and yeah, that's quite rare. It's the Friedland D902. Sounds German, but I think now it's a subsidiary of Honeywell. It's quite loud too, given it's low power specs.
