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.

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.

It appears the hammers are sticking or a spring has broken. There are three. Can i get replacement solenoids/hammers, or an estimate to repair the whole Chime unit. Also if you think it would be best to buy new.Thank you.,John

The Rittenhouse door intercom answering system system was installed in 1978. It is not functioning well. Do you have a newer replacement for it that would still have the doorbell and intercom system? Does a new unit come with the exterior speaker?
