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...

Some of those old intercoms had a radio installed. Does yours, and does
it work?
If so, turn it on and loud enough to be able to hear it from the breaker
box, or have someone standing by the main intercom console and operate
controls that indicate operation by emitting sound or by observable
indications. Start turning breakers off until the radio/console shuts
off. That's the one that the transformer is hooked into.

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?
