Re: Problem with telephone 248 and bellset 44.
If B31 and B32 weren't previously strapped, then the dial probably should have worked even if "extn to exch" were selected rather than "speak to exch".
If you have a (preferably analogue) multimeter, try connecting it (set to ohms) between T3 and T9. With the dial at rest it should read at or near zero ohms. After dialling 0, while the dial is returning, the pointer of an analogue meter should flutter or a digital meter should give a variable or non-zero reading. If the readings remain at zero ohms, it probably means that something is shorting out the dial contacts.
Would it be possible to post images of the wiring? An independent check can sometimes spot something that one has missed.
