- One of my best-ever garage-sale aquisitions is an old (and ugly
- yellow-green) ITT Trimline-type phone. Got it for $1, with no cord.
- It's been a faithful bedside phone for years, now, and gives me
- something to do with that little transformer I unplugged from the
- basement six houses ago :-).
-
- After this move, it's given up. The microphone isn't working. I
- checked the mic with my ohmmeter, and it shows a good connection.
- Changes resistance with audio, so I don't think the mic has gone. But
- I find no voltage across the mic when the phone is off-hook.
-
- Perhaps one of you might have an idea, or even a schematic they could
- pass along? The phone says "ITT 180447" on the flex-circuit in the
- handset. I don't really want to tear into it with no roadmap.
-
- E-mail preferred, and thanks in advance.
