Anyone have any experience with a Bell Systems 2752 wall panel phone, 1752 or 752? I am working on a 2752 phone that has a bad speaker for speakerphone that has a open circuit. Anyone recall what ohm speaker was used for these speakerphones. Since the bad speaker isn't reading any resistance I can't tell what to replace the speaker with. It's next to impossible to find another 2752 to scavenge from or to check ohms of speaker. I have looked in every old manual that I can get my hands on and can't find specs for the speaker. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Dear D-a-#:

The speakerphone system components that are inside a 2752 tel set are electrically the same as the parts in a stand-alone 3-type system. Those use a 760A speaker. I just pulled one of mine off the shelf and it measures around 28 ohms.

If you have a problem finding a replacement, I might have the guts from a spare 760A I could sell you, but I would first try building out with some resistors and using an 8-ohm speaker. See if that works.

WOW!!!! Thanks so much.

You just pulled one off my shelf? We want to stay in touch with you. Thanks again!

No, I'm not good enough to pull one off YOUR shelf. I pulled one off MY shelf.
