I would like to get an estimate on testing and repairing any needed parts of our antique ( assuming it is antique,) doorbell. I love the way it sounds, from manually striking the chimes, but doesn\'t seem to work...

I know this chime assembly is very old but is there a replacement kit for the hammers. they are sticking and perhaps the springs are just too soft. I\'d appreciate any help you can give me.

Was working well until I sanded and painted the kitchen. I took the chimes down to paint, put them back and nothing works. I get voltage coming in but it doesn\'t move anything.

I have an older system, it was still working but when a water pipe broke behind my kitchen wall, it soaked the unit and ruined it. I want to know how much it would cost to have it replaced so I can get back the intercom and music function. Thank youAlbert Brien
