Hello,

I'm working on the starlight wall phone from 1966 that I got over vacation and found a red wire from the ringer. I am unsure of what terminal to connect it to.

Thanks!

You need the ringer in series with a capacitor betwee 8 Tip and 10 ring. 16 is a binding post to connect the ringer to the capacitor at.

So you need to find your capoacitor and the green ringer wire to figure out where the red ringer wire needs to be.
