Telephone hook switch noise
I have a Chinese made telephone with a hook switch that is generating a ton
of noise. Disassembly revealed a DPDT switch made by having the top of U shaped phosphor bronze contact springs sliding along the sides of tin/silver coated brass contact tabs. I have given it thorough clean and need to know what, if any, lubricant should be used on the contacts before I reassemble it. Help appreciated, John. |

Assuming now clean, phosphor bronze should not need lubricating. Perhaps neachanically add, by bending or something, some extra spring action (something less than handset weight of course) -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |

It is now assembled dry and so far so good. Many thanks for the advice, John. |
