WE 653 B-A wiring question

 OK I did see on the diagram that those wires go to the receiver and transmitter and I think they are correct.
My hook switch seems to look different than the others. Here are photos of it opened and closed.

My hook switch seems to look different than the others. Here are photos of it opened and closed.

It looks like the bottom spring is broken off and the rest are bent. There should be two contacts that open together.

Sorry about the low resolution image but I think you can see what it looks like.

 OK I messed with the contacts on that switch in the phone actually is working.  It dials out properly and the audio quality is decent!
The problem is I have to manually open the bottom contact to break dial tone,  if I'm wording that properly.  I think I could make a little rubber spacer to do that?

Thanks Jack. I didn't see the photo when I replied. I need to do some bending on my switch as well. That upper "spring" (If that's what it's called) isn't arced enough to keep the receiver holder up, when it's removed.
