Re: Old telephone won't ring
Hi
As you understand the GB wiring standard is different than most other countries, that makes rewiring or converting a common issue. For us non GB people it will sometimes include adding parts as a capacitor who has the function of just letting ring current pass to the ringer. In GB plug and socket system the capacitor is located in the socket.
Your phone may have the capacitor, or may not. First try should be to put a wire or link between T6- and T7 and try. You also need connections between T9-T9 (missing on picture) and between T16-T17-T18-T19 (looks right on the picture)
Give it a try.
The Belgian ringing voltage should be at least 60V and that should be enough.
(It may be 90 as in GB too)
