Looking for a wiring diagram for a Western Electric 444EC I downloaded one from TCI but, I would like one
a bit more simplified like the more common ones you find. I'm colorblind and ones that illustrate using only colors are no good to me sadly. Anyone have one?

Is this the one you found? It's not simple, but the most info is probably in this connections BSP:

Yeah, That's the one I found Paul.
I'm way to use to the other kind these can be confusing when dealing with as much wiring as the WE444EC has.
I tried using a basic one for a 302 just looking at the Ind, Hks, DL and Cond. but that won't work.
Got cut and broken wires I don't know where they go here: http://www.classicrotaryphones.com/forum/index.php?topic=26892.msg259828#new

Here's a relevant extract from the BSP referenced above that includes wires from the hookswitch to dial.

It helps to draw vertical lines between the component names on the top line to see which terminals belong with each component.

Yes, same one I have. You have to understand how my mind works, everything here looks backwards in comparison
which easily confuses me. My mind works differently then others to put it simply.
