I'm trying to reproduce a pull alarm from radio shack. I took it apart and followed the lines with the beep setting on the multimeter. The silicon black spot was scratched off with a razor blade. Unable to tell how it was connected inside there.
I think have got as far as possible for myself and need some assistance. What exactly is the bottom round thing with three connectors? I was thinking a capacitor of some sort. The red wire is bent and only connects to 21.
I also want to add another pull section, which was the main reason for disassembly.
The pull part is the rectangle on top.

it connects to the 'pull switch' connector; when the string is pulled out, 21 is connected to the rest of the circuit and provides power for it to screech.
I wonder if the IC can be substituted for a opamp chip or something?
It's probably impossible to find out the part number for the IC. Suitable replacement?
As for getting another pull trigger installed, I may try connecting wires to 12 and 14 to something, ground maybe? Then try another wire connected to 13 as the trigger wire.
Here is a picture of the whole alarm in case anyone recognizes it.
