Re: Vintage Arrow ( Toy? ) Telephones
Possibly simply lifting the handset on the calling phone activates the buzzer in the called one. Lifting the called one completes the speech loop and silences its buzzer.
The speech circuit is probably a simple series connection of all microphones earpieces and batteries. Should be easy enough to reverse engineer if enthusiastic.
