Made by Electra. It is a two chime sort.

Out of interest, how is it crappy? I rather like bomb proof steel headsets with loose balls. Or has it been damaged/compromised by a dodgy past/poor maintenance?

You mean like the ones of distant childhood, sort of loud but friendly sounding?
I searched electra - are their bells all essentially the same functional design but just with different pics on the tops?

It was cheap when it was new, it's never seen fresh grease and now it's old.

All my bikes have serviceable adjustable ball bearings, and they all have quill stems as well. I refuse to own anything that has "improved" modern throwaway rubbish fitted to it.
Don't do much touring- to the point where I don't think I've ever toured on the same bike twice, I just use whatever is the most suitable bike I have at the time. The most suitable touring bike I ever had was a 1999 Marin Bolinas ridge. Since it already had a rack and 'guards for commuting I didn't need to modify it at all.
I don't do this but having had to replace a Specialized Mindset headset (with a nicely rusted lower race) recently I completely understand this stance.

I think some are one chime and others two. Good bells, but I think they are only different in the design on the outside. Electras are cruiser bikes, heavily accessorized, mostly for the form over function crowd, but a good, reliable ride.
