Just to keep you in the loop here, both men have emailed me with an offer to help, and I have sent them my dilemma. I am awaiting their response, and causing more trouble in the meantime. Idle hands........ After lubricating everything AS DESCRIBED in the bsp, I have a moaning message drum. I think some oil might have gotten into the workings and allowed slippage where there should have been friction. I am fairly scared to dig further out of fear of breaking the beast, yet I really want IN THERE!! Temptation.......

OK, just for fun, here is the link to my developing blog on the matter: https://1-ba.blogspot.com/ Those of you with more knowledge on the subject than I, (which is a majority, I'm sure) will probably get a chuckle at the newbie. Hey -- I'm learning!!

Nice Blog, if you ever get this going I still have somewere a bottle of KS /cleaner/lube used for the drums and heads we old telco guys called it moose milk. But since it is liquid have to figure a way to ship it to you if you want it.

So even armed with the BSP's you've been unable to make it work?

I think I've already done the damage with the lightweight oil though. Now I'm trying to get the drum to stop moaning when it turns. Maybe TOO MUCH lube?? I don't know anymore....

No, it doesn't kill the phone line, it only kills the phone attached to it. I branched another phone off of that same line, and it is fine. The problem with that theory is that when it is powered on (and goes dead) it performs no other functions. I assume I should be able to turn it on and then call home and it would answer the phone. It does not. None of the lights come on (other than the medallion light) to tell me it is ready, and it doesn't actually DO anything. That's the dilemma now. As for the moaning sound, I went in and fixed that. Couldn't avoid the temptation! I added those pictures to my blog too, if you are completely bored and want to see them! I noticed one difference from the BSPs and my machine, and that is that there is no fuse holder or reset switch where they should be. If you look at the pictures around the incoming power line, you can see the bracket where the fuse tube should be, but there is nothing there, and just North of that where the reset should be, another void. I don't think that's it since the machine powers up, but it is a difference from the expected...
