It may be nippled into a ceiling junction box in your basement. If the
ceiling is finished you, obviously, won't see the transformer and will have
to check each outlet box until you find one that has 2 black wires coming
through a nipple. Even then, it could be your door bell transformer and not
your intercom transformer.

Check near your circuit breaker box.


Did that. Unfortunately, it ain't there. Also, none of the breakers is
marked to indicate which breaker the system feeds from. Oh, the joys of a
35 year old house...

Our new (circa late 1960's) house has a NuTone intercom system that

needs
to
go. Some of the functions work, but for the most part, the system is

dead.

After removing the face plate from the main control box, I found a

label
that indicated that the system runs off of a 30V AC transformer (the
label
says the transformer is "located elsewhere"). After crawling through a
large portion of the house, I still have not found "elsewhere".

Where to begin? My first (possibly biggest) problem is that the "hot"

wire
isn't apparent...

Suggestions?
