Hello,
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"
