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!!
