North Galion won't break dial tone

[Doug Rose]

I always have trouble with a North Galion. Rings, conversation is perfect, can't dial out. What have I missed. I don't have one with this setup. Any help is greatly appreciated. I been moving wires and getting confused. The red on the dial on left is from the handset cord....thanks...Doug

It does not look like it is wired according the the diagram on the condenser.  The red from the handset cord should be connected to the "R" terminal on the coil.  The red wire from the dial should be connected to "L1" on the coil.  The white wire which goes to the dial should be moved to the terminal next to it which currently has nothing on it.  The outer two dial terminals are not used.

Dial pulse contacts look bent.  Did you check them?

[LarryInMichigan]

Bill is right.  The pulsing contacts are bent.  It should be a simple matter to bend them back.  This dial is a Signal Corps dial.  It has the extra pair of normally closed contacts - WE style.
