I would like to do the same, hopefully avoiding the need to replace drywall, etc., since this system is considerably larger than the Nutone products. I couldn\'t find any responses addressing whether or not there were solutions available. This system is working fine, it just looks silly with the updates we have made to the house. Thank you!

I have 2 Rittenhouse intercom speakers that need to be replaced. They both measure 9 1/4\" long. 6 1/4\" wide and 3 1/2\". Do yo have suitable replacements? If so, how much are they? Price of each unit, tax if aplicable and shipping charges for a total net price.Thanks in advance for your prompt rep…Purchase or Repair: ...I have 2 Rittenhouse intercom speakers that need to be replaced.

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 was there when I moved in so there is no manual for it.My problem is, after a thunder and lightening storm the other day, I came home to find all 3 units ringing. The only way I could silence them was to switch off the circuit breaker. If I turn the breaker back on the alarms start sounding again. How do I reset them. There is no apparent reset button; nor can I find a master control box or module anywhere. Do they use them? They are connected to the ceiling box by 4 wires. Any help would be appreciated.

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 believe it is a model 631 or 632 but I\'m not sure - WHERE CAN I FIND THE MODEL NUMBER? (I\'ve seen pics of what appear to be identical units labeled 631/632).I\'ve got it hooked up and the basic functions seem to be working - ie front doorbell and westminster chimes.However, as a kid, I seem to remember this thing also chiming on the hour and perhaps, single notes on the quarter hour, but it doesn\'t do that any more. Am I imagining things or has dad disabled this function somehow?I do see two screws on the extreme upper-right of the circuit board that have a jumper installed. What\'s that for?Lastly, I\'d like to install a 2nd door bell in the basement (I work at home, in my office basement and can\'t hear the main bell all the time). Before installing the Rittenhouse, I just had two bells wired together in parallel, but when I tried to do this with the Rittenhouse, it just triggered the chimes. What is the terminal marked EXT FRONT for?Thanx....
