How does a telephone work inside?

How do I make my rotary telephone work?

  • I bought a princess telephone at an antique shop. When I plug it into the jack I get a weak dial tone and alot of static. How do I make it work with modern technology?

  • Answer:

    It may not work without some serious modification beneath the dial. Do all exchanges still support pulsed dialing? I don't know that they do. You may need to swap out the circuitry for something a little more contemporary. Lots of mods on the internet for just this thing. Google will help you out (or yahoo)
