Re: Magneto phone generates no ring voltage
One can put a NE2 bulb between the wires of f the generator and it should light if there is voltage. IIRC they strike between 60v and 90V. I have used old military field phone gennys to light the bulbs up.
The phone PS I have generate 90V for the ringer line.(likely less by the time it reaches the house).
I was rewiring the house phone lines and someone rang in. It was a pretty good jolt, as I was holding the lines at the time.
