Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum

sheetrocking my house after it was flooded by katrina, the contractor stupidly threw away the master station to my doorbell/radio/intercom system which rendered the system inoperable. i have asked an electrician friend to look at it and he cannot find a suitable retrofit. we will have to replace the whole system which includes one substation and four remote stations. i am looking for recommendations of brands to replace it with (nutone\'s white, plastic master stations don\'t suit my mid-century modern home). i am looking for industrial-looking, high-end brushed chrome or nickel ones.or if anyone has a master station they would like to sell me, that would be terrific... many thanks!!

Similiar issue, my doorbell kept sticking. So I replaced the sticky button but now my springs inside the bell housing seem to be sprung and unable to move the plunger the full range to ring or retract.

This problem may be caused by a lighted doorbell. After the bell is wrung, the light will re-illuminate. When that happens it may be drawing just enough power to make the door chimes think that the button was pressed once again. This is a repeating pattern.If a lighted door button is used, the solut…Purchase or Repair: Ticket Image...
