Hi to all,

I'm still restoring old radios.
But for a change...someone asked me to restore an old General Electric telephone.

It has 5 capacitors...i suppose i should recap them.
I don't know the value and voltage rating, i don't see any nameplate or model number. No schematic.
Some wires are disconnected.

I'm lost with phone sets.

Does someone know a good site about old telephones ?

Thanks
Vianney

I left the radio business and worked for AT&T for years before I went back into radio at Delta....I can probably help...wots yer need to know? Is it dial or touch tone? There is only one really basic schematic for a telephone, and I just might know it from memory.

Hi Lewis,

The phone is quite older than touchtone.
It's dialpulse.

This is a picture of it.

I draw the schematic of it.
I see 2 capacitor cans: a big one that has 3 capacitors inside, and a small one has 2 capacitors inside.
I wonder what would the value of them and voltage rating in telephones ?

Also it has a mechanical ringing bell. The coil of that bell is connected to ground via a capacitor (that i don't know the value), and the other side of the coil is connected nowhere !!??

The phone has an input transformer.
Red and green for the phone line at primary, and the secondary of the transformer has terminals labeled C & LI.

Thanks
Vianney

Would the coil happen to be an IND 101A? If so, the schematic would be for a Western Electric 302, or anything that has the terminals L1, Y-L2, GN, C, R, etc. Go the the TCI site mentioned above and look at WE 302 schematics.

Many thanks Lewis and BrianC for the site mentioned above !!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Lewis, the inductor coil is a 101A
I found the schematic i was looking for on model 302

Thanks again

Well, my friend, there is very little I don't about the WE 392 phone.....ask for help anytime....
