Can I make a bell box from a W.E. 500 set ringer? What wires would I attach to the line where? The 500 set ringer has a Red,Slate,Black and a Slate-Black wire. I wouldn't have to have a network would I?

Yes, you can just use a ringer... just get a 0.47MF capacitor rated at 250VDC and put it across the slate and slate/red wires.... then connect the red and black wires to the line.... and it should work!   John
