- I bought an old phone; a 1947 Sweedish Ericsson LM. It only has three
- wires coming out of it, and is missing the green which I need to hook
- it up. I have descibed the terminal setup inside. If this makes any
- sense to you, and if you can tell me which wires to move to hook it up
- properly, I would be greatly in your debt. If you can't, well I can
- take it to a shop, but I would love to have a go at it myself. Do you
- have any ideas?
-
- There are two rows of terminals, offset like two steps on a stair
- case. The top row of screw-down terminals is 1,3,5,7,9. The bottom
- row is 2,4,6,8,10.
-
- There are wires attached to the top of these terminals by screws, and
- to the bottom by solder.
-
- The wires attached to the top of the terminals:
-
- *the dial has three wires:
- - term #1=red
- - #2=blue
- - #3=white
-
- *the handset has three wires:
- -#5=red
- -#7=black
- -#9=yellow
-
- *the line out has three wires:
- - #6=red
- - #8=black
- - #10=yellow
-
- The wires soldered to the bottoms of the terminals:
-
- The bell, hook, and "guts" are strung together into a bundle, which
- are attached to the bottoms of the terminals. It would be difficult to
- sort them out.
-
- Please accept my thanks in advance.
