Wiring diagrams for candlesticks are specific to the model numbers and the hookswitch pile-up configuration.  I think it would help greatly if you had a model number of the candlestick.  Western Electric sticks had the model number embossed on the back of the perch for instance 151 AL.

Very true.  Plus, the only cording diagrams I have are for the following sticks:

50AL
51AL
51CM
51C
51CL

From that list, I'd probably only bother with a colored cording diagram for the 51AL, which seems to be the most commonly found phone from that list.  I don't have any diagrams for anti-sidetone sticks (151AL, e.g], as my diagrams are from AT&T 4566-February, 1926, which predates anti-sidetone.

However, I'll gladly scan a black and white of any other phone from that list, if anybody needs one.

Being that I am at work at the moment, I can't break loose on a research project, but the TCI site has some cording diagrams on it.  We can check there.  Do we know yet which model oldphonelover has?

Not yet.  I think it would be a good project to embark on, anyway, though.  The 20AL, 40AL, 51AL and 151AL are frequently encountered, so I think doing those would be a help, regardless.  If we can find clear diagrams for the 20, 40 and 151 in the library, that is.

Did I miss something?  The network in this phone is a 4228B.

Hi Bob,

I can't make out where the yellow wire in the mounting cord is terminating on the network.  Is it on an "L2" screw?  At first glance, everything else looks to be correct.

Going to try to attach two pic's. I am not sure of the model and it looks like they have used different parts to create a candle phone [maybe] but here is a pic of the stem and a pic of the dial. The only wire layouts I find don't include that red contact? I think they upgraded the dial along the way. So here are the two pic's. if some one can tell me a wire layout I well cook you dinner [LOL]. I also have four wire cords I replaced from phone to ringer. I got the subset down and connected to wall... [ok going backward...LOL]. Thanks for all your help guys.

Oh I found the marking on the back that say's it is a 20al?

I've wired my WE D1/202 to a 685/425B subset, but cannot tie the final black wire from the mounting cord to the D1 because my phone has a filter/ pulse suppressor (unsure of terminology) not shown on the diagrams.   So- where does the last wire go?  Also, on a slightly different tack, I have a 4 color line with a modular jack connected to the subset; are the black and yellow wires really superfluous.   Strangely out of focus photo attached, loose black wire draped across the center.

Hello,

First I am very new at this so don't take the suggestions in stone...

Try this diagram and see if you at least get a dial tone and go from there. I would still join the wires as they should be even with that thing on there. See if it works?

you might check the wires on there as I think one the jumper on the left might be wrong "BK" here's a pic of the one I followed.

as for the jack I beleive your correct in the extra wires. You only need the two I beleive to get a tone at least it seems that way on modern lines.

Let me know if it works.

Tried your suggestion and on the test call(s) I could barely hear a thing, but the call went through and the other end could hear me just fine.  And the bells scared the cat- I haven't heard telephone bells in years.   ;DSo- thanks, but now I have something new to work on.

Thanks for the excellent diagrams! I'm bookmarking this page for when I finally get one of these 102s or 202s (or both)  :P

I tried to wire my phone based on your diagram and it did not work.  basically, everything worked except the dial.  It had a dial tone, it would ring and receive calls, however when you turn the dial it just keeps a dial tone.  So I made a change and it worked.   I skipped the yellow line mounting cord wire and I jumped Y to BB.  I know your diagrams are correct but with my phone only this would work.  Any reasons why?

Which subset are you wiring this to?



Its a very small   subset/ringer.  Just a little longer than a deck of cards.  Its pretty cool.  I does say something like "bell systems property" and the sound is really great.
