Aloha Julio, Yes, lots of places sell them. However, I bought a mid-priced one at home depot and it lasted about eight months. The one I bought has four D batteries in the base, and one in each of the two outside buttons. The batteries that go in the buttons is smaller than a triple a

I attempted to disassemble the radiator way back when, but it seemed that I would need to cut at least the first section off since the bolts holding it together were not inclined to move. And, with 90 plus years of paint on it, I am not sure how inclined the pieces would be to separate of

They do have battery door bells and they now also have them with wireless buttons which you simply stick to the door frame. there are jumper pins so you can adjust the frequency so your door bell isn't set off by a neighbour's near by. If I was Han Solo I'd probably pet my woke -

Rent the biggest monkey wrenches you can from a tool rental place and put your back into it. You'll probably get it apart. Then a heavy mallet and a cold chisel should separate the sections. You will want good hearing protection I suspect. Maybe even just a good few smacks with a sledge and

Hi Dan, Another option that came to mind is maybe cutting it with an angle grinder? I figure, it'll take some time to do it, but maybe coordinate it with your wife so she's at the park with the little baby, that way she won't have to deal with the noise because I'm guessing you haven't made

Thanks for the comments so far. By the way where the wires came apart was near what I think is the transformer. Since I have one of the talking multi meters would it be a good guess to set it to AC and check the thing that I assume is the transformer? If DC by chance there will be no reading?

Art, Put the probes across the terminals, that is, one probe on each terminal. It will be AC have no fear. This is just a step-down transformer and the voltage will be very low. Spit on your finger and place it across the screw terminals and I'll bet you won't be able to feel it unless you
