Thank you so much for the picture. I picked up a great 302 phone on Ebay, but it wouldn’t ring. It had the exact same wiring issue. Great site.

I too was confused by all the similar but different wiring. Thanks to you, my 1950 302 now rings loud and clear. [Great...glad I could help! - Mark]

Dennis is just being modest. He is a phone restoration guru. There can’t be too many people in the world with more knowledge than he has about vintage telephones!

Thanks Mark for the compliment and the plug. I don’t consider myself an expert but just someone that has been helped in the past. I love to share my enthusiasm for these old phones along with whatever knowledge I have acquired—usually from the help of others more knowledgeable than me. Your new blog is looking great. I look forward to future postings! Good luck!
