Re-wiring a 1987 2500 ITT/Cortelco - 05/12/09 01:23 PM
Hi everyone, a little back-story: I bought a perfectly functional Cherry Red 2500 Set at a HAM Radio swap meet several years ago.
I salvaged the handset off it for re-wiring to a cellphone, that worked great.
I originally marked where the handset connections went but in the process of reconnecting them I managed to disconnect some other wires like a fool.
I now want to put the phone back in working order since I now need a land-line and this thing is positively gorgeous.
I've located the schematics for the 2500D and everything is peachy except I've got no terminals marked S or T, instead I've got E1 and E2.
Also on the dial I've got 9 wires including a brown wire attached to a black plastic sheet surrounding the digits, some of the colors here do not match the schematics.
I want to tear the thing down completely clean it, and put everything back in it's intended place, is this a terrible idea or what?
I'm happy to post some pictures if it would help resolve my issue.
Thanks everyone!!
