Home Telephone ringer/buzzer

Fingers Mcginty

Howdy,,My folks had one of these ringer/buzzer thingys installed in their hall and it's died a death. It was great because it was as loud as a door bell and they could hear the phone ringing anywhere in the house. Any ideas where i could pick one up? It only has the 2 telephone wires going to the device...doesn't take batteries either . Any help appreciated.

I'ld imagine connecting the two wires to a telephone socket and installing something like this would suffice?

The simplest way is to buy an old telephone with a bell ringer and just plug that into a splitter.
These sort of telephones would give a good sound.
