Trial and error :-)

With great difficulty.  You need to try to scrape the varnish coating
off
the PCB so you can solder the wires in place.

Ah, now there you have me :-)  Have had a few reliability problems
lately -
dunno yet if this is due to dead batteries (only about 6 months old) or
the
way it's mounted (I had to modify the physical mechanism on the bell
push
and I had to guess how much to cut off the push rod).
It _was_ working fine until fairly recently.

Unfortunately, I am v.busy ATM & have to prep house (currently a
builders
yard) for ppl staying @ the weekend.
I will _try_ to knock up a few instructions over the next few days. 
If I
haven't posted anything say by mid next week then post a reminder and I
should be able to do it next w/end.
