Correct, the shaft pushes the switch to make contact. There are 2 screw terminals. I will get a picture tonight.

Quote from: HarrySmith on May 14, 2022, 04:08:59 PMI am attempting to put a WE 425E network in a woodie. I picked up an empty wood wall phone years ago at a local auction. It was in storage for quite a while. It was redisovered during the move. The cabinet is in good shape but it was completely guuted, nothing inside. There is no dial and no ringer. I have 2 wires from the hook switch, 2 wires from the transmitter & 2 wires from the receiver. I tried hooking it all up like a 500 but I get nothing. Can anyone point me to a diagram that would work?

425-type network:
Input RR (Tip) and C (Ring)

Output:
GN = Receiver
B  = Transmitter
R  = Transmitter and Receiver

You can interrupt the line by adding the hookswitch in series with the ring side of line and C (rather than connecting the line to C).

No need for a jumper from F to RR if you connect Tip directly to RR.

Some of you requested pictures of the magneto so here they are.

Great photos! And, yes it should be possible to connect the generator with 3 wires as in my first scetch with generator and ringer.
