You can start off by properly completing your profile. "Home" just doesn't cut it, at least not with me. At least a State, preferably a city as well. We like to know who we're helping out. Sorry I am a very private person and have had some bad dealings with people using my personal information (such as me posting my location on a profile) I pray you understand.

Well, you can tell from the clapper and the pivot mechanism that you have a "frequency ringer", designed to work on a party line, where the ringing frequency was different for the different subscribers.
So even if you have it wired up the same as a straight line ringer, it is not going to respond to the standard 20 cycle ringing voltage.

I was afraid of that. If I order a 4 wire ringer can I just replace it?

Yes, if you replace the entire ringer assembly, you should be fine.

Honda E., thank you for posting a picture of your ringer! Seriously, frequency ringers are rare these days, and just finding a picture of one is a challenge. In the future when this comes up again, someone will have that pic to refer to.
They are rare because people toss them in the trash after they put in a standard ringer. The only folks who save them are hard core pack rats, err, I mean collectors.

I gave my son a truck full of ringers to scrap hit the screws with a grinder and get the gongs off....
I did keep the ring generator that lets you select the frequency via jumpers
we used to swap out a lot for folks that wanted a second phone but where on a party line ....

Speaking from a secure undisclosed location. Well I was going to keep this one for parts ( I like to build other things from spare parts)But if it is that rare I will keep it in tact.
