And that's what I get for not reading all of my mail before replying.

I don't think range should be much of a problem.  The current bell is near
the ceiling on the second floor (where I'd wire in the remote/button for
the wireless system) and the extension bell would be on the floor
immediate above.

It looks like these wireless doorbells are quite inexpensive.  I can
probably buy one and modify it without too much trouble.  I might need
some advice on the details to that, though.  More info when I have
concrete data.
