Dear CRPF & Harrysmith:

Here's something I found that might help with my Empress phone wiring dilemma...

I could take the hookswitch and network from these and transplant them to my Empress phones.

The WE 581A (WE F-56659) pretty much has the major parts I'd need; I'd most likely have to improvise mounting the network, but the Empress set already has a spot for the switchhook, I'd just have to add spacers so the Empress sets hook actuator would depress the hook lever.

I'd need two, please.

If any CRPF Member has these, please let me know.

Thanks,
Rototech99

Dear CRPF & Harrysmith:


I've been able to put a WE 401D into one Empress, but will still need to add a 7 or 9 lead hookswitch, and do a couple dial connections via. floating connectors.

Adding a polarity guard won't be hard after getting a switchhook.

As to the rotary Empress, I'm going to need aa WE4010B network, or a PC network that supports a rotary dial, and a 7 or 9 lead hookswitch as previously mentioned in earlier posts.

If any CRPF Member can provide the parts and feedback, it will be greatly appreciated.
