Repairing NuTone Intercom Systems - How Many Have We Completed? - How Things have Changed

The NuTone Intercom Repair Business is Booming.

In our little corner of the NuTone Universe business is very busy.  We are contacted everyday by homeowners who are looking for someone to Repair their NuTone Intercom equipment.  A common thread that runs through many peoples stories is how difficult it is finding someone that doesn't just want to sell them a new system

People tell me how they are told that "it's to old to fix", "they don't make parts for it any more", "those types of electronics are no longer made". These types of statements are simply not true.   If someone has an interest in repairing Vintage NuTone Intercoms, it can be done.

In 2014 we had 396 NuTone Intercom Master Station sent into us for repair.  Out of all of those sets, only 2 were beyond economical repair and for those customers we found replacement Master Stations and rebuilt those for them. 

While the majority of the repairs are on models made between 1984 and 2008, we do have many Master Stations sent in that date from the late 1950's through the late 1970's.

So far this year we are running about 10% ahead of last year and we are just coming into the busiest time of year.  We have created a You Tube Channel for our on-line Videos, which help our customers with the task of removing their Master Stations for repair.  We have an article on this site that shows how to package the Master Station for shipment so it doesn't get damaged.  We are constantly buying NOS and used NuTone Intercom equipment so we have the parts we need to repair the sets that are sent into us.

Thanks to Cindy, we have a reorganized our parts and electroinc modules storgae, which makes finding what I'm looking for so much easier.

While everything is constantly growing, I refuse to compromise the level and quality of work I do on my repairs.  It may be very old-school, but if my name goes on any repair, it will be done properly, period.

Thanks to everyone who has trusted use with your equipment.

Chris, I have a NuTone intercom system that was installed around 1990 (IMA_3303), and which replaced a pre-existing NuTone system from the 1970's. I have an under-eave outdoor patio speaker which I have replaced twice over the years (it is a single speaker with a separate wired remote unit for volume, inside talk, and outside talk). The speaker is no longer working, however it appears to have been discontinued. Any thoughts on how I can get a replacement?

Your help is appreciated--thanks.

Just a quick administrative suggestion. Lot's of current NuTone owners find your excellent videos on YouTube, why not provide a direct link to your website in your own comments section to make it easier to navigate here?

Hi Paul,

We started including a direct link to our web site in the YouTube Video description last December.

We will be updating all of the descriptions on early Videos over the next few months.

Thanks for taking the time to offer a good suggestion

Chris
