Probably not the cause of your problem, but I'm a little concerned how close the strap between T8 and T9 is to the strap above between T1 and T2, and the closeness of the T12 end of the resistor to T13. If these make contact they won't help matters.

I would be inclined to reseat the strap so that the left end is firmly within T9 and pull the right end of the resistor away from T13.

I'm puzzled by the apparent engaged tone - presumably an on/off tone of around 400Hz if the same as UK. The lack of ringing could be caused by ringing current not appearing on the green wire of the line cord. How is the line cord connected at the far end?
