House was built in the early 1970s, so I presume this Sears Intercom is from around the same time. I have already removed the interior intercom and replaced it with a wall tablet. I am hoping to replace the exterior speaker with a video doorbell, but I can’t figure out how to remove it. It’s 5" x 3" and has no visible screws or recessed holes. I haven’t been able to find anything similar to this online. Any thoughts?

      The problem with just breaking it on an older house is that you find a non-standard mounting box or just something weird underneath it.

      Breaking stuff means you have no way to cover the hole when you find out you can’t replace it with anything. :)

        If his plan is to get rid of it, he probably has already figured out how he is going to deal with the hole left behind.

        What is the advantage of taking the time and effort to remove it in one piece just to toss it in the garbage?
