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....

The small piston that strikes the chime does not return back to the original position. There is a spring on the piston. It seems like the piston should have a retainer of some sort on the end to hold the spring in place. Is there supposed to be a retainer on the end of the piston to keep the spring …Purchase or Repair: ...The small piston that strikes the chime does not return back to the original position.

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
