Hi everyone. I have a lovely 1937 GPO king pyramid telephone which has been fully converted. It was working perfectly until my grandson decided to cut the handset cloth cord. I cannot now make a call as there is now no dialling tone. I have purchased a replacement cloth cord, but haven't a clue how to fit it it. I have looked on the internet, YouTube etc. and am unable to find a tutorial. Would be so grateful if anyone can help. Cheers and many thanks.x
