does anyone have a wiring diagram, (one that shows what wires to connect to what screws on the inside) to this phone.

It has 6 buttons on the bottom they read: HOLD, 1, 2, 3, Comm Line, Buzz.

And on the reciever handle it says: bell system property do not sell.
Here is some pics of the insides:



Thanks

I am going to let this one go because when he sees the price you have on your manuals he will scrap the project.

MEMORIES!!!

Won't do you any good unless you have the Key system too. If all you want is dial tone the first line is the w/bl second is w/br. It's 3 pair per line if you have the system so w/b, w/or, wh/gr 1st line, tr, a1 a, and l lg respectively, with y/sl as the common ringer lead.

Your showing you age

That's why I only answer the questions on older equipment, it's what I know. I depend on y'all for the answers on the new stuff. I enjoy working on the new equipment, but when you had to follow a schematic with lines so close you could hardly tell them apart to see which contact on what relay was failing and not trying to belittle anyone, those were real techs. Yep I'm old, but sure beats the alternative!

It's a rotary dial. Flyball governors, eek!

The first row had the O-W for the first A1 (ground)lead, common through the rest of the set (looks like a 565) The other A1 ground leads were spares.

I sure miss these phones we could FIX! Nowadays, you just toss 'em.

And the busy lamp diodes, and "strapping" the cap for matrix ringing, and, and...I can't remember...

OK jjimm,
Since you're at least as old as I am. Wasn't the control lead only common on 10 button and larger? I think the 6 button used both A1 and A..could be wrong, memories the second thing to go.
Bill

You're absolutely right, Bill! See what happens when an old guy tries to show off?

It was the 10& 20 btn sets that used the "spare" A1 leads from lines 2-5 for the the A leads for lines 6-9 .

The 6 btn sets had the A1 leads terminated on the screws in the set.I guess mine had a "loose screw".

I still CAN see clear enough to notice the 5th button probably also had a screw loose,inside the 5th button so it wouldn't lock, so it could be used as a buzzer. Cool! Buttons and buzzers-in series! (blah-blah)

Seriously, what

Seriously, what PMetalDude41 needs is the REAL thing- authentic Bell System books-Key Systems Books 1-2-3 . The ones that say- "Bell system property do not sell."
