a couple of months ago, I was able to obtain a 202 Gold Imperial Phone, kind of scuffed up, be usable...except... I had no subset... well, that's been solved... I found a ITT Beige #139 Extension Ringer on Ebay for $6.00!, Got it today... added a network to it... and wired it up.... discovered that you need the "RR" terminal to be jumped with the "L1" Terminal to get a dial tone.... and was able to dial out with no problem.... lucky me, saves extra ITT networks for replacement or future use... all I had to do was to drill a single hole in the chassis, tap it and mount it in the unit.... the ringer was a 50Hz partyline ringer, so I will be trading out another C4A ringer from another phone.... another phone back in service! Yeh!
