Am about to replace hideous doorbell. AFAIK, I just have to unscrew
tthe old one and attach the new one to the wires.
BUT - how do I know which "breaker" as they used to call them,
controls the doorbell? I looked in my switch box, where I have
everything labeled, but did not see "doorbell". It rings in the
kitchen. Anybody hazard a guess where it might be connected?

Hmmm,
Typically door bell works off 24V AC, try to find the transformer
feeding the door bell. Mine is mounted on the side of breaker panel
box.


Mine was mounted up in the attic in a random spot. Spotted it when I was
running wire one day.
