Telephone Troubleshooting and Repair / Re: Stromberg Carlson wont dia...
Last post by bcarolla - April 14, 2024, 02:12:26 AMI think the PBX is called a Dimension 2000. I'll get some pictures when I am next onboard. Yes the Battleship Iowa is the National Musuem of the Surface Navy.

The ship must have some kind of PBX, can you post pictures of that?

Last post by TelePlay - April 13, 2024, 10:32:10 PMHere is another wiring diagram, this time for a 500 style SC phone. Again, it uses 4 wires to connect the dial to the phone, not 5 as seen with your phone's dial.

Lets see what I can come up with. I'll check all the similar desk phones onboard and see if any of them have significant markings on the bottom.

Last post by TelePlay - April 13, 2024, 09:07:59 PMThe images you have provided show two white wires attached to the two pulsing leaf switches, a 9-X dial, no C4A type ringer and two "loud" arrows stamped into the base (one horizontal for a C4A ringer and one vertical in the center of the base I've never seen before.
Seems these are specifically made phones for a unique use.
Can you create a wiring diagram for the phone as it now sits on your bench?

Last post by bcarolla - April 13, 2024, 08:35:28 PMHere is a picture of the bottom. All five of the phones I have do not have any additional model information on the bottom. The older phone in the picture of the three phones did have a model number on the bottom and I was able to find information about that model. I'll start digging through the stuff you provided. Thanks!

Last post by TelePlay - April 13, 2024, 07:38:25 PMI looked at a few SC wiring diagrams and they all showed the dial with 4 wires.
This is just one of several diagrams used here as an example of what I found (it's for a 1243):

Last post by TelePlay - April 13, 2024, 06:42:02 PMThe pulse circuit leaves are circled in red, the mute circuit in blue.
The green wire is connected to the muting leaves but depending on how your phone is supposed to be wired, it's impossible to determine from pictures alone why your phones pulses are not being sent.
You need to find the proper wiring diagram for your phone model number.
It could be in this topic, or in the TCI library:

Last post by TelePlay - April 13, 2024, 05:20:55 PMWhat model number is your phone?
Can you post an image of the bottom?
Typically, a dial has 4 wires.
Two wires are the mute circuit which keeps the dialing "pops" from being heard in the receiver.
Two wires are the dialing circuit which opens and closes the line for each number dialed, dial 7 generates 7 open and close cycles - and causes the "pops" if the mute circuit is not working.
Have you tried looking for the wiring diagram for your phone?

Last post by bcarolla - April 13, 2024, 03:32:34 PMHello all. I see my post has quite a few views yet no words of wisdom yet. This is my first post so I am wondering if I didn't provide enough information or something is missing. If so I appologize and will provide whatever you need to help me out just let me know. Thanks
