I'll endorse Charles' suggestion. The Nutone box is a quality product, easy to work with, inexpensive, and readily available from multiple sources.
Three tips if you're adapting non-Pan intercom speaker boxes: (1) If you plan to re-use the existing pushbutton, make sure it does not have an internal incandescent light wired to cause a short circuit that will make the intercom ring constantly. (2) If your customer wants a lighted button, you may be able to find one that fits that has an internal LED that can be wired separately from the signal circuit; or just drill a small hole and mount an LED pilot light near the button. (3) If you don't have a spare pair to carry power to the LED, put a good 9-V battery inside the box -- it should work for many months. Michael N.
