In fact, our chimer went from Ding-Dong to just Dong many, many years
ago. I never saw any sense in spending money to fix it. Everytime
someone comes to the door and rings the bell, we know it. It's always
been "good enough".

Wow, you have the luxury model. Ours has not worked at all for 20 years.
If you come to the front door and ring the bell, I probably don't want to
see you anyway.
