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?

I have an older system, it was still working but when a water pipe broke behind my kitchen wall, it soaked the unit and ruined it. I want to know how much it would cost to have it replaced so I can get back the intercom and music function. Thank youAlbert Brien

Only one of four chimes works, although we detect a faint electronic buzzing, in sequence, of the other three. For example, we hear Chime A, buzz, buzz, pause, buzz, buzz, Chime A. As cover has been lost, we suspect dust and grime is keeping the other hammers from working.Can the unit be cleaned and…Purchase or Repair: Ticket Image...

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.
