Hello everyone,
I just found a SOCOTEL S63 phone at a flea market that I managed to make work for incoming calls on my Box.
However, the phone's ringer works very quietly.
This ringer consists of a coil, two bells, and a double hammer.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this ringer louder, like adding a small transformer to increase the coil's current or replacing the spring with something else, etc.?
Thank you in advance for your suggestions
Larry

Hello,
Unless I'm mistaken, there is an adjustment that allows you to adjust the current in the open circuit.
See the red arrow in the image below
This could affect the ringtone...
And the diagram of a Socotel with a rotary dial
Very difficult to catch a black cat in a dark room.
Especially when it isn't there...

Indeed, the "Idle current" is incorrect... the adjustment was meant to ensure that there was 40mA in the circuit when disconnecting. (see in the middle of the page http://alain.levasseur.pagesperso-orange.fr/page22.htm)
However, during the ringing, an alternating or square signal arrives between terminals 1 and 3, and the upper resistances depending on the adjustment can modify the overall impedance of the circuit where the "Hum" is located.
And thus make the ringing more or less "aggressive".

Your link doesn't work Edouard :-(
After that,
it is possible that setting the current adjustment slider to 1 helps a little in limit conditions like on a box, indeed.
But in my younger years, I used to connect them to radio equipment that simulated a line and we never used them to adjust the ring level, from what I remember, that dates back to the late 70s, however it could or could not trigger the detection of the off-hook or disrupt the dialing, which was also based on the line current.
In fact, back then, since we couldn't transmit the ringing signal via radio, we settled for detecting it in an optocoupler to generate a particular signal, which activated a 50Hz oscillator on the other end.

France Télécom has not existed for almost 8 years now; it has been called Orange since then.
But it's true that the boxes are far from delivering the 90V ringing of the PBX, which are the only ones capable of really shaking the bells of the S63.
As for adding a transformer, that could significantly complicate the detection of the picking up (establishment of the direct current).
