I bought a house built in 1950 with an old Rittenhouse door chime, Model #365. I have no idea if it can be repaired. I don\'t have the front door button. The inner workings are very dirty. Do you think it\'s worth sending to you? Thanks, Kathie

Can you repair the solo kids on this 1950s era doorbell?It’s generally ok except that some of the parts that slide in the tubes to ring the chimes are lost. I could send it in or you could sell me the parts to fix it myself. Thanks,George Pond
