Can someone supply a single transistor circuit that will give a damped
sine wave when a pulse is applied? to emulate a bell sound

Damped? Do you mean compressed to a sequare wave?


You can do a 180 degree phase shift in a double T RC network how
ever, that produces a sine wave. etc..

Damped as in decaying, just like a bell.

Seems to me John Larkin or Jim Thompson posted something like this a
long time ago. Searching didn't find exactly what I want. I'm
building a set of mechanical chimes but wanted something to use until
I work out the kinks - and test the pic timing.

If you've got a PIC, why not use it?

The pic is just putting out de multiplexed pulses (only 4 outputs on
the chip expanded to 12) to operate solenoids to strike chimes. Pics
don't make sine waves very well without a lot of extra effort. The
end goal is a mechanical chime system that can be programmed for
different melodies.

I have a goal in mind, I'm not interested in changing the goal, and
this is just a little side excursion to aid in testing.
