Candlestick 152AB with 685A subset wiring?

IT WORKS!   

THANK YOU poplar1 and everyone for your help.

After connecting to the subset the only other modification I had to make was to connect the Blue jumper from L1 on the terminal strip to RR on the network (it was connected to F).  Should I connect F on the network to anything?  The phone seems to dial, ring, and answer fine.

I also took a closer look underneath and I see the dial is marked 6C 6-57

I had a question regarding the subset.  If you look at the picture I posted earlier, there seems to be a rivet keeping the ringer adjustment from moving.  Is this common?  Was it used just to make sure the ringer was never turned off?

I  had no idea that Western Electric was making subsets in 1978!  I'm surprised someone found one that new!

Just to properly document my rare "new" 685A subset I have attached a photo of the back.

Thank you,

Jeff

Jeff....it is a great feeling when you make one of these oldies but goodies work...congrats. Welcome to the Forum, it's a great place for people who like phones.

And collectors like David who are constantly bailing us out with his amazing knowledge. Welcome.....Doug

These subsets were often used with 200- series pay phones. This part "locked" the ringer in the loudest setting. You can remove it if you want.
