Guys
my little saga continues
tinkering is fun when it makes sense
The currents state of affairs
Handset
white to 4
green to 6
red to 5
Mainline
red to 1
green to 2
white to 3
Dial
orange to 3
pink to 4
slate to 6
brown to 7
blue to 7
Symptoms are now
Lift handset hear dial tone
Dial a number can hear the pulses then immediately back to dial tone.
I can use the reciever to leave a message on a voicemail as before so nothing really has changed swapping that wire over.
One thing worth noting is where terminal six is that part of the bakelite has parted company with the rest but the nut bolt connector is there and working tried to take a picture so you can see what I mean.
My guess is something in the dial? a switch not opening when the dial is turned ?
Took a vid of the dial spinning but cant load it up here.
Thanks for all your help.
