Now you can Replace the Pushbutton Switches in your NuTone Remote Stations made Between 1984 ~ 2010

Nobody Likes Noisy Pushbutton Swicthes in their NuTone Intercom System

 For the longest time the most needed and necessary Service on NuTone Intercom Systems has been the cleaning of the Pushbuttons Switches in the Remote Stations from Systems made between 1984 and 2010

This has been common enough that we used to categorize these types of in-home Service Calls as being a "Clean & Adjust"

As fine dirt and dust find their way into the Pushbutton Switches - it causes microscopic scratches in the surface of the brass contacts inside the switch - which crates the static sound when the button is pressed.  Also, the presence of the dirt and dust would cause the brass contacts to become oxidized overtime, prevent a good electrical connection.

During the "Clean & Adjust" Service Call, a proper Contact Switch Cleaner (DeOxit D5) would be applied into the Pushbutton Switch.  This would wash away the dirt and dust, and condition the brass contacts - which reduced the noise the switch would make.

In the best of results, the noise from the Pushbutton Switches would be reduced by 80-90%.  This Service would last for a period of time before it would need to be done again.

Now there is another solution - Thanks to one of my Customers.
