Thanks Jim,  That would be what I am looking for.  All my searches did
not turn up that item.
FWIW your link to amazon locked up my browser every time.  Had to back
search and then found on
ebay.  The interesting thing is that the ebay'er ships from
Amazon.....................

As for the modification of a 18vac door bell, I was thinking about that
as well.  But if I was going to go that route it would be better to just
install a relay and trigger the ac voltage to the coil.  Then I don't
have to deal with almost getting the right voltage at the right amps stuff.

However, the one that Doug suggested from ADI may do the trick and I
don't have to deal with
a ebay or amazon shipping issue. But I do have to deal with ADI pricing
and shipping cost.
I was looking at that as well before posting but did not see on the
doc's that it produced a ding dong sound. It says: "SINGLE, DUAL AND
FADING TONES". But now that Doug has confirmed Ding Dong then I am all
over it.

Thanks for the assist guys, very helpful.
