4 out of 10 times whenever I press the button it works.How do I know if the transformer that needs replacement or if the wiring itself that went wrong? I have replaced the button and it should not be the problem itself.How much would it cost if you send someone to fix it?Thanks.—> …Purchase or Repair: Ticket Image...

Need new springs for the hammers. This is an old door bell and it has lasted about 40 years. The new ones are sick. This is the best I have heard and would like to keep it another 40 years.

My manual says 4-8 Note Chime Models (534, 535, 552, 577, 618, 633). I don't know which one I have. It has long chime tubes and a clock on top. The door bell works great, but the clock doesn't.

I recently moved into a house that has the Rittenhouse All Transistor RCM-1 system in every room. It\'s obvious this system has not worked in a few years, but I want to repair it and keep it with the time of the home. A newer system would take away from it\'s appeal. Is there anyone in the Tulsa, OK…Purchase or Repair: Ticket Image...

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
