Default Re: REN Booster

In about 1983 I extended the number of phones in the house because my wife was getting hard of hearing. I was advised to use 4 wire cable and put two (or three) bells in series off a single capacitor, thus making each group a single REN (extensions used to be wired that way I was told) I did manage to work out which jumpers to move!!!
Worked like a charm! Would that work now?
Also used a thermistor to stop dial tinkle.
