Have a look at or if it's not on that particular page it may be somewhere else on the site. John.
Read the full replyHello,
I've got an old rotary BT phone sitting around and I wanted to convert it to use a BT plug. I had one done ages ago and I know there's not much to it.
Anyone got a link or info on how to do this on a 70s/80s typical GPO phone (model 746)?
Thanks!
Have a look at
John.

There's a bit more to it than just changing the lead - there's a good chance it has a low impedance bell with a REN of several if parallel connected. So you need to either change the bell to a high impedance one or add a series resistor. And make internal alterations to the strapping in the phone.
Cheers all!
I did google first but to no avail. Might have used the wrong keywords.

Conceived on an Ikea bed, or in an Ikea store...?

Possibly both :-)
Gives a new meaning to the phrase "shop soiled"
