Wrong dial in 202?

[Jack Aman]

Has this 202 had the dial replaced with something non-standard?  It looks different than the wiring diagrams I have seen for 202's/subsets in the forums.  Can anyone advise how to connect this configuration to a subset?   Thanks in advance for any advice!

It is hard to be sure without seeing more of the dial but it does appear to be a newer one, It should work fine.

There are some good diagrams here: http://www.classicrotaryphones.com/forum/index.php?topic=784.msg42306#msg42306

That's just a later style WE6 dial. It has the same connections as a 4H used in 202 originally. The connection labels/marks are on the screw terminals if you squint. Just wire like usual.

The 202 body came with a #4 dial originally, and were routinely fitted with #5 dials when a repair was needed.  The #6 dial, is a later dial that is pretty much equivalent to a #4 or #5, except that it has a slightly thicker body so the top edge of the body will show more when on the phone.  Not really a problem unless you are going for strict authenticity.


I have several 202 style phones with #6 dials.

Here's a recent post with the similar dial. They are out there.
