Default Re: Trouble with a 706 faint dial tone.

Yes I've used multimeter and tested and retested the continuity of the line cord and the handset cord - changed the BT plug and one of the spades. I've also tried another 706 in the socket and its fine - I took the lid off that and its wired identical to the other with the fault - I am convinced that I originally had the wiring correct, but swopped around just to see. I will take a line cord off a phone that definitely works (with the proper UK wires) and try that, altho I'm 99% certain it won't make a scrap of difference. I'm wondering if the bell mechanism is on its way out or the dial or switches are faulty?
