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: ...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?

The transformer is putting out 18.5 volts, although the unit says 16 volts on transformer and circuit board. I assume the board has gone bad. I like the unit, I am wondering if a replacement board is available or can you fix the current one. Another alternative I would like to explore, if another brand unit can be used.

It has a main station attached to 5 rooms and a front door intercom. I would like the update to include Pandora and a video front door intercom.

I have the exact same problem, but it\'s not caused by a lighted doorbell. Without the doorbell connect (and not crossing the wires) the chime mechanism keeps repeating.

Do you have any parts for Rittenhouse (Emerson) All Transistor Radio-Intercom System, Model RM-1 (AM radio) or RM-2 (AM/FM radio)? Our system dates from the 1960\'s--still going strong. But I need knobs and especially the instruction manual because I don\'t know how to answer and use the exterior Door station (or for visitors to talk to me). Maybe a manual for another vintage Rittenhouse model would have useful instructions? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Diane Reichard in Princeton, NJ ~~ dpreichard@att.net

I would love it to be working, hopefully restored. Let me know what you need from me.

It was custom built in 1983 with many upgrades that were available at that time. Unfortunately since we have lived here the system does not work. The main unit is 17\' wide and 9\" tall. There are 12 units scattered throughout the house. They each measure 7.5\" tall by 8\" wide. I think what we have may be on the large size as far as the measurements of each room speaker and the main system as well. because of this we are afraid we are looking at a major renovation to replace it. New drywall and all that. Is there a possibility that it can be repaired or does Rittenhouse have a replacement that would fit? Please advise.Thank you,Marie Gunderman
