Hello everyone, not been on here for a while as work has been busy.  I have a Northern Electric bakelite telephone from the 1940's.  I have managed to convert to phone to dial out, the seller I got it from removed the ringer unit and bells.  I have tried a ringer unit from a WE 302, but it's to big as I cant close the case.  Has anyone have a spare one they are willing to sell and ship it to the UK.

A ringer out of a 302 set is the same size. The mounting holes might not line up but you can possibly file them to work

.....

That is a Northern Electric Uniphone.

As rdelius says a 302 ringer should work. Can you take some pictures of the inside and post them?
I do have a ringer here out of a 302 and I have a uniphone as well. I will open it and take some pictures of the ringer along side of the 302 ringer for you.
If you still need a ringer, I would be willing to send one to you.

Here is some information on it from Paul F's site.
