Title: W.E. 500 Series Set, with 425B Network, and C4A Ringer.

I guess this could be considered the most common 500.
Many dial variations.

What variation is there for a manual 500? I have mine wired this exact way, minus the dial. All I get is buzzing when I pick up the handset.

Wire F and RR together.
It seems that the hookswitch on these is over-complicated.

Is the black ringer wire on G or on L1?

The 2 white dial wires should be on R and GN.
