Default Re: 746 no dial tone. Inexperienced repairer hoping for help.

Just a thought from someone who is not much more experienced than SjjBeard him/herself, and way less experienced than almost all the other contributors on this forum, but ...
Whilst admittedly this observation might have been more useful before money had been spent on the multimeter etc., for the amount of time, trouble, surgery and potential expense involved in replacing parts, wouldn't it be easier either to just ( a ) buy another known-working phone of the same type, or if ( like me ) you're particularly fond of the green colour, buy another known-working phone of the same type and replace the whole of the innards lock, stock & barrel? This would only require changing the line and receiver wires, which is not a big deal even for someone with absolutely no experience.
As I say, just a thought, or am I just being too simplistic ...?
