An Overview of the NuTone IA410 Expansion Kit - for use with IM4006 and IMA4006 Intercom Systems
It was fairly common to have installations of the NuTone IM4006 and IMA4006 Muisc Intercom Systems exceed the standard 9 Remote Stations.
For these installations, NuTone made an Expansion Kit - the IA410 for the IM4006 and IMA4006 which increased the total number of Remote Stations to 19
There are 2 versions of the NuTone IA410 - the early version was designed to be used with the early Ribbon Cable (IW6R) systems. The later version is designed to be used with systems that use NuTone IW6 cable.
Both of these kits are interchangeable

This Video features a NuTone Series 2 8-Note Long Tube Door Chime from 1939
I review a set of the original NuTone Installation Instructions and describe how to setup this Chime - as it would have been done when it was new.
I explain the fine points of setting the "Volume" of the Chime by adjusting the Tubes and how to set the "Volume" adjustment properly.
I show how this Chime should be wired - I explain the details of the low-voltage transformer and why having the correct transformer is necessary to have the Chime work reliably

Music & Sound like to play around with their Model Numbers - The best approach is to consider this as 1 version of the Model 20 Series
Other variations would be Models: 20 ~ 20A ~ 20B ~ 20C and 20D
These all share a common "platform" of design with more or different features added to make different models

The NuTone "L" Model Long Tube 8-Note Door Chimes were introduced in 1960 (est) and they replaced the NuTone "K" Model Chimes.
The L Model Chimes were a much more modern, simpler and streamlined design. The L Model Chimes were really the basis for all 8 Note Long Tube NuTone Chimes that were made over the next 45 years.
The example in this Video is a Model L42 from January 1965,
I review the differences between this L Model Chime Base an earlier K Model Chime Base

I always like to begin any repair with rebuilding the Power Supply. This Rittenhouse RCM4 Master Station uses common enough componets - however the modern day replacement are much smaller than the originals, so it requires some "ingenuityt" to solve the issues

This Video covers fundamental information about NuTone Low Voltage Transformers that are used in NuTone Intercom Systems.
It includes a brief overview of modern NuTone Transformers and how to test the transformers used in NuTone Intercom Systems.
Testing transformers can help determine where the source of a problem is with a NuTone Intercom System.
To test a transformer, you will need a Multi-Meter that can measure low-voltage AC power (less than 50 volts -AC )
