This is the schematic I followed, and out of all schematics I looked at, this one worked, I could talk and dial. But, it has me wire the ringer up to a terminal strip that doesn't exist in my phone, let alone to wires not used on the phone cord.
See here's the other problem, the ringer is only 2-wires, red and black, not a 4 wire ringer that I see all the time.
So, how do I hook this up? It's odd enough how it's wired compared to other 500's, but it seems to work minus ringer.

Oh, and yes, I did replace the phone cord with a new one, the original was damaged, and I just used a 2 wire 1-line cord since that's all that's needed anyways..
Remove the slate from "A" and put it on "K". Then red to "L2" and black to "F".
Don't worry about the green and white. Just store them.

There is no slate on A. The schematic shows that the ringer coil should have 4 wires, but in reality, it's only 2, just red and black, no slate or slate red..
But, I tried putting red to L2, and black to F.. When plugged into the jack, I got a single "goonnnnng". Picked up the handset, had a dialtone, and a single "cling" from the phone. Put the handset back on hook, and "gonnnnng". Interesting..
Ok, try this. Red to "A" and black to "F". Now jumper "K" to "L2".

I'm going to try that. In the meantime here's a video of the odd behavior.
Note in the vid I did hook up the green and white wires to connect the handset only when off the hook, to possibly prevent the ringer voltage hitting the handset, and wired it up like it "should".
With that in mind, I'll try your recommendation to seemingly get around the two-wire coil and use that cap in the network via a jumper.
The ringer coil has to have a cap in series to block DC otherwise it presents a low resistance when placed across the line. Whan that happens the line goes off hook hence the busy signal.
