Does anybody have a wiring diagram for the Kellogg Redbar set with a dial?

Thanks,
Ben

I LOVE wiring Kellogg redbars! You practically don't need a diagram!

The interior is neat, with the polished plug in. I got my ringer working, but now I can't get my dial to reliably work. If I mess around with the contacts it will sometimes work, but I'm not yet exactly sure on what is going on. So, I think I need figure it out or send it to Steve for repair.

No Master Dial ?

:-)  don't worry, be happy
Most seem to have AE dials.

When I first opened it up, I was confused on why it had an AE dial. Although, it does say Kellogg somewhere on the dial. I wonder if AE contracted these dials?

Were Master Dials bad?

No Master Dials weren't bad, not that I know of anyways.
Yes, Kellogg licensed the design from AE, but started building their own around 1946 or 7.

Have you opened one of the networks yet?

Here is what it looks like, totally over-engineered, if you ask me.
Nice to the eye, but heavy in the wallet.

I love it! No switch hook wires, no capacitor wires, no network wires, multiple capacitor settings! No way to wire capacitor and network wrong. [almost] No wires to fray. I love it!

Too bad the shells are thin. :'( :'( :'(

Ah, because it is does not have a Master Dial it means it is most likely a pre-1946 telephone? If I understand correctly.
