The telephone on a Bellset 44 is a Telephone 248 which has a different circuit from a Tele 232 but with a bit of 'fiddling' you could get it to work. Always nice to restore as it would have been as it keeps its value as well as just 'looking nice'. You can 'convert' a Tele 248+Bellset 44 as described here. Lack of bell is not problem, just use a parallel 'plug in' extension bell without the need to 'mod' the Tele 248/BS44.
