<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 33974, member: 29&quot;]OK, I&#039;m missing something here as well. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t see a schematic on that website that matches the codes on my table.&nbsp; The other thing is, why would a US phone of some kind have tables over here?

Both I and the geek started our careers in what was then the PO and GPO and did technical training around Strowger exchanges, telephone handsets, and so on.&nbsp; I worked on telephone exchange network planning for a few years, and himself was an engineer. </p><p><br /></p><p>All telephone handsets in the UK were PO/GPO commissioned and built,&nbsp; up until after privatisation in the 1980s. This thing is much earlier than that - it ought to have a GPO part and approval number, for example,&nbsp; if it were ever intended for UK use. And there&#039;s far too many connections: telephones only need a two wire connection - three for shared service - with a condenser and a bell in series, and not a lot more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
