Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum

I have had this for almost 50 years and the clock does not work, for some unknown reason, and the chimes are weak sounding and miss at times. I need help. Can this be repaired?

This unit puts out a chirping sound (Similar to sound of a smoke alarm) on a continuous basis, one chirp about every 30 seconds. Please advise what I should do, short of disconnecting the unit, to stop this annoying sound.Thank you,Richard Baer
