Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum
I have a Rittenhouse 550, 551 doorbell chime.The unit itself works fine. What I am missing (which someone was supposed to nor trash) is the transformer that sequences the chimes. Do you have a transformer for this that will work? And if so, obviously, what would one cost?Thank you for taking the time to read this email.Regards,Paul Winchock

I recently purchased an older home that has a Model # RC-475 - 16 volt door chime that works fine, but lacks the cover.
