hand crank telephone ( 5 bar stromberg-carlson)

[kevin Henard]

I have a 5 bar stromberg- Carlson hand crank telephone . Someone has taken the contact points off before and put them back out of order. Does anyone have a print of these points displaying the points and spacers in the correct position . It sure would be a ton of help to me because it will not fire in its state now. Thanks. Jve looked everywhere I can think of and no luck. Please help!!!

Hi Kevin,
There are quite a few videos on youtube repairing and converting these.
You might find one that goes into detail.
This one (3 mins in) shows what they should do from the factory. It might get you started!.

I got one just to play around with the magneto.
One word of advice. Keep your hands to yourself when you get it going. It'll give you one heck of a wake-up jolt if you put your fingers in the wrong place.
