Sure - that would be a big improvement. Anything with a bell logo or WE on it is OK by me. Plus I think the charcoal would look better than beige.

If you asked me 20 years ago if I thought I would one day be trying to color coordinate phones.... well, you know the rest.

Sorry to go off topic, but since we are examining my red 2565, can anyone tell me what this gizmo is?

That's an Edwards buzzer that was used until the smaller 8-type round buzzers were introduced in the early 1970's.

Thanks Ed - Maybe I'll hook it up and see if it buzzes differently. I guess Mr. Edwards probably made it run on 105v though, in which case I won't mess with it.

Matt -

There were 105V AC buzzers. We used to put them in at jobs that wanted some of the intercom stations to ring the bells in the sets. Actually now that I think of it we also put in some 20v Bells. I think it depended on what was available in the supply house. As I recall, the square Edwards buzzers ran on a variety of voltages.

Ah. Well I guess that explains how a pre 1970 buzzer made it's way into a post 1970 phone.

I think I'll leave it there, but not mess with it. Next thing ya know I'll burn up my intercom; and I REALLY don't want to go there.

Where did the 105 volts come from?

It's a universal buzzer (either AC or DC) depending on where you put the wires.

It will work on 10 VAC, just like the more recent round ones with the blue leads.

The screw with the spring is the volume adjustment.

They never were equipped with 105-volt buzzers.

What I am wondering is, does the power come from an external supply? Or from the KSU?
