Bud, thanks for that link. It's worth the $7 & change to order that transformer and see if it resolves the issue. I've got a watch on it for now.
Thanks Dave. That's something to consider. I wouldn't mind if the ringing was a little more vigorous/louder than it is currently.
I'll take another look at the other transformers I tested the ringer with and see if maybe they were DC. What I do know is that when I tried to install the ringer using the existing transformer (because I didn't know where it was located yet), I got nothing. I assume that transformer is 22 - 24v. I can't find any markings on it that indicate its output.
Wouldn't you know it -- the next door neighbor came to the door a little while ago and had to knock a few times because the ringer isn't working . . .
