746 ringer - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hello,
I have a 746 that won't ring and have found that one of the coils is o/c. I'd like to 'google' for a new one but I'm not sure of the correct term, is it just ringer coil?

Thanks

I would be inclined to search for "telephone bell coil" rather than "ringer coil" - but then you can never quite be sure how those offering them will describe them.

Thanks Dave that makes sense, just wondered if there was a specific term but anything + coil seems to cover it.

Hi,
I may have a spare bell motor kicking around here, which you can have for the cost of postage, if I can find it.

That's a very kind offer Andrew and as I can't find any for sale I'll take you up on it if you can find one. More than happy to pay the going rate, I'll PM you.
