Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum

I am looking for a wiring diagram for a Rittenhouse, Spartan Electric, Fayettevile NC C8845 unit which is 30 to 35 years old. It seems to be either able to use two D cells or 16V transformer but I am got sure how to wire it up. Any ideas? Thanks.

A plunger on my 50 year old door chime is not returning to the rest position when the door chime is not activated. The consequence is a continuous buzz and erratic operation when the button is pressed.Have I provided sufficient information to diagnose the ease of repair?Thank you.Jimβ€”> …Purchase or Repair: Ticket Image...

Looking for a sequencer box for a model 552 doorbell chime. I know they are rare. Does somebody make a retro fit or do you have a good used one. If none of the above then how about schemetics and I will get one made. Thanks-Tom
