Does anyone have a spare partially or fully working WE 8A type or similar ringer with or without the bells (the ones with the big bells and whose coils are often marked 700, 500, 1250)? 

The one that came with my 634 subset had one dead coil and one coil that measured good resistance.  I tried touching up the solder as someone recommended, but it didn't work.

I just need one coil, not the bells etc. - the rest of the parts I have.  Just looking for any of the big bell ones that would be in the 534/553/653/654 (?) type subsets/wall phones. (not the B1A)
