Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum

Just wondering i have a rittenhouse system rcm-1 and the intercom system part does not seem to be working. We can broadcast for the main unit and it is heard in the other units but when we try to broadcast from one of the other units to the main you can not hear the person ? Anysuggestions or do you have a manual that can be downloaded?ThanksDave

I have a Rittenhouse Emerson Elec Model C8326 (perhaps 1960's) that has stopped working today. The chimes and housing seem okay, but the mechanism and bell button are old and worn out. Do you have replacement parts - and at what cost?

Buying a condo with an inoperative Rittenhouse Model 7021 intercom system. Was constructed in late 70s. Is the technology so out of date that it is not worth restoring? Should I consider restoring the unit, about how much am I looking at? Is there a dealer here in AR, or do I have to ship it to you …Purchase or Repair: Ticket Image...
