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.

Was working well until I sanded and painted the kitchen. I took the chimes down to paint, put them back and nothing works. I get voltage coming in but it doesn\'t move anything.

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?

I have an older system, it was still working but when a water pipe broke behind my kitchen wall, it soaked the unit and ruined it. I want to know how much it would cost to have it replaced so I can get back the intercom and music function. Thank youAlbert Brien
