will AE starlite ringers work in 500 stets

[Western Electric]

Would this work.
I have a spare starlite ringer & a SC 500 with 33~ ringer
just wire it to l1 l2 a & k?

A 33 Hz ringer is highly frequency selective, and might buzz a little, but probably wont ring loud and clear.  If the ringer has two leads, black and white, the connection would be to connect one lead to L1, and the other to A, and then a jumper wire between K and L2. 

You would need a straight line 20 Hz ringer for optimum results.

The starlite ringer is SL
the ringer in the 500 set is 33~

OK, I misunderstood.  The Starlight ringer has red, green, blue and black leads and is internally wound differently than a 500 ringer.  Connect red to L2, green to A, place a jumper wire between L1 and K.  Put some electrical tape over the blue and black leads (individually) and tuck them away so they don't touch each other or other parts of the phone.

Uh oh, sounds like a Frankenphone rising from the crypt!

If the SC 500 will take a WE C4 ringer, then that is always a less "Frankenphone" alternative.
