If you can't find the booklet I'll scan it and send it to you - pm me with your email address.

Also attached in case that URL disappears.

I've been looking for that circuit for 27 years!! - I thought it was about 1988 it was published. Perhaps it was in an updated version.

Even less technological was the "Stanophone" which comes up on ebay occasionally.

The 10 line telephone exchange with 22 relays is attached if I can find the file. Note the corrigenda on the last page. Also a Cook Abbott ringdown circuit.

As the OP has a working Panasonic system and probably working telephones, however, the simplest thing will be to get them to work together as originally desired.
