233 with no dial (intentional) - wiring issues

I've got a 233 without a dial. I'd like to turn it into a bullpen line but I need it to work first. I've followed this wiring diagram



from here:  http://www.classicrotaryphones.com/forum/index.php?topic=24813.0

but I'm still getting dead silence. incoming line is attached to a grandstream ata converter and I've used a test set hooked up to this phones terminals to confirm that dialtone is present. Since this phone lacks both a subset and a dial, I'm not sure if there's something I need to short? In particular, the Tip connection to L on the terminal strip looks...lonely.

I've got a strap on BB<->BBX so that's addressed.

Other thoughts?

I would think you would have to have a 685A Subset and a dial, or at least wiring it as a non-dial. I don't know who's wiring diagram that is, but there are no "865A" subsets; they surely meant 685......

Original topic from which the image was taken is here (the wiring diagram has been edited to change 865A to 685A and the subject line corrected to show 685A for future searchers).
