Phones from Lancaster!

[WesternElectricBen]

Ok, you wanted to see them more up close not just from the trunk of the car so here you go. If you are interested in the phones more just ask and I can take more pictures. Sorry I didn't get a very good picture of the AE 80 pink I have some of them restored now but I will have pictures when they are all done...

Like I said earlier most of them were from three REALLY NICE COLLECTORS.... Jeff, Pete, and didn't tell me his name..

Thanks,
Ben

Your NE Uniphone has a British GPO dial.  Many independent Canadian phone companies used British telephone switching equipment, so the also used British dials on their phones for compatibility.  One of the things that I learned many years ago while working for US Robotics (the modem company) was that the standard make-break ratio for phone dialing pulses was different for the British phone system than the North American one.  Now, it does not make a difference.

Ok, it has 302 insides but I can't get it to break dial tone, might that be the issue?

No. Wiring is the same as a 302. Check your switchook and clean it - that could be your problem. Otherwise check wiring. The British dial won't affect breaking dial tone unless it is faulty.

I think I see the problem, a white wire coming from termanal 4 isn't connected up to anything.

Got 4 phones all finished! They are work well and have dial work on it.

Ben,

     It looks like you scored BIG-time!!! What a gorgeous group of phones!

     Of course, you do realize that both myself, and zaphod1 ruined our keyboards, drooling over the 500 with the 95A!!!

     Enjoy your treasure trove, and have a Great Weekend, young'un!

Best regards!

Mr. Bones
