Hello everyone. I'm not sure this is the place to put this but here goes. I have an old Kellogg D1000 phone I want to rewire to work on our existing phone line. I can get dial tone through it but no side tone and can't break dial tone. Can someone tell me how to rewire it so it will work? I have a DTMF converter to put in the line. Thanks in advance.

Dean's 3rd reference is the one you want for your Kellogg "Redbar" phone Follow the instructions for Common Batter, and Metallic Ringing. Hopefully you have a "straight-line" ringer, many that I came across had harmonic ringers used on party lines. Also check the dial contacts, that the pulse contacts are opening and that the off-normal contacts are not shorted. You're fine posting here, but we do have a forum dedicated to antique telephones here https://sundance-communications.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/forums/45/1/antique-telephones

No, I have no paperwork on it. Picked it up at a yardsale. We have my wife's grandmothers telephone bench and want to put both in our living room. The third reference does not appear to show how it should be wired unless I am missing something. Please advise.

Touch Tone Tommy, I am going to assume you mean the 3rd link that professor shadow posted. It is the book on the Kellogg D1000 red bar. As the phone is a D1000 BA I will also assume you make all the strapping connections under BA in the charts on page 8.

Of course you never know if someone previous to you has rewired the phone. Always write down what you chance so you can rewire it if it doesn't work as advertised.

Thanks guys. I finally moved a couple of wires and got it working, even without the DTMF converter. I can dial out and answer calls just fine.
