Have a 354 in the kitchen, it rings.
Two 500s in the office on the missus and my desks, only the 1954 model rings on her desk.
A Trimline in the den, no ring.
A 2500 in the guest office, they sometimes need touch tone, no ring.
A Princess in the master bedroom, it rings and the light works. (Used a spare transformer I had laying around and wired it into the black and yellow wires of the jack, yeah I'm El Cheapo)
Planning on hooking up the Franken554 in the garage when I get to it, and it will ring.
There is one modern phone, a cordless with answering machine, in the kitchen, it does not ring and is rarely used by anyone in the family. Keep it around mainly as a touch tone emergency phone.
