The Rittenhouse C8578-1 135-7351-01 is a door chime unit that is currently not working. That's the information I have so far.

Have you ever heard of a response on the Rittenhouse 631/632. I too am refurbishing one and need to know the correct tranformer voltage needed and a wiring diagram surely would help. Any insight?

It appears the hammers are sticking or a spring has broken. There are three. Can i get replacement solenoids/hammers, or an estimate to repair the whole Chime unit. Also if you think it would be best to buy new.Thank you.,John

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

Bell is connected to two doors. The front door works fine. The rear door won't ring at all. Can't tell what might be disconnected. Any ideas would be a big help. Thanks.Ken Bentham

I have a Rittenhouse intercom system and am unsure of the model #. It was installed in the 70\'s. I am painting my condo and would like to replace the ivory cover with a white cover. How would I go about purchasing just a cover? Thank you
