Bless you, Lizzie, you are always such a wealth of information!
Hello All - first post here. I've not worked out where the best place to say hello is, so I settled on this thread. I'm a Parish Priest in the Church of England, living in a modern Vicarage which is gradually being decorated in a William Morris style in the domestic parts (apart from a 60s kitchen) and Mid-Century Modern in the public parts. The reason for posting in this thread... I collect and restore telephones and switchboards, so if any of you are having trouble with UK telephones (or trying to source them), then I might be able to help!

I have a question for the more technical folks out there. A friend of mine has a 1970s reproduction candlestick telephone (not the Deco-tel style - I believe it is marked as "American Classic"). Anyway.. the ringer is not a bell ringer but makes an electronic "chirp" which he can't stand. He was wondering if he simply cut the wire leading to the ringer/speaker if this would simply cut off the ringer or does he run the risk or damaging other functions of the phone?
I have some recollection of posting these photos before (which were themselves taken a coupla-three or four years ago), but I don't find 'em anywhere in this thread, so ....
