Western Electric Wood - type 317 modify for CB use. (answering only)

[dsk]

This weekend someone asked me how to use the LB telephone on CB. It was a W.E. 317
If I understood right, that was one of the more common models in the USA?

Well after some thinking, I ended up with this solution, by then the thread was deleted from FB (Sometimes I hate FB)

We need a capacitor, if the phone does not have one, we ad one. A typical ringer capacitor will do the job perfect.

We only use one part of the induction coil, in the same way that Kellogg did in one of their phones, so the rest is just to wire it between the existing screw terminals.

One little but important thing more, we disconnect the generator and just tape the wire, just to protect the CB equipment.
