- "Old
Telephones: How to Repair and Rebuild Them" by
Dr. Jeffrey Race. "Twenty years ago I wrote a booklet OLD
TELEPHONES: HOW TO REPAIR AND REBUILD THEM, which offers 22 schematics and
20 pages of text detailing repair and restoration of historic magneto and
common-battery instruments and their conversion to use on modern lines. With
the evolution of technology I have re-casted it as a downloadable PDF
document and put it up on a website I operate. I also have many other
useful downloads at various other locations on this
website." - Dr. Jeffrey Race, ATCA #63, President Cambridge
Electronics.
