All,

A fairly lengthy explanation, so please bear with me :-)

I've recently had some building work done in my hall which necessitated me
to move my phone block terminal (referring to
http://www.telephonesuk.co.uk/connection_boxes.htm it looks like a GPO
BT20/4).

Anyway, there was a socket immediately following the block terminal which I
have discarded as it was is a bad state. I've subsequently wired up my
extensions to the junction box, using standard (slave?) phone sockets.

I don't know much about phone wiring, but it's just come to my attention
that this may have been a master socket, however my phone still works -
would this work if there was no termination resistor & capacitor?

I'd like to replace the block terminal as the contacts are corroded and the
box is really shabby, what could I replace this with (I don't need a socket
there)? The box has 3 wires going in - one is my extension, one is twin bell
wire and the other is 3 core which I think goes to some old sockets
upstairs.

I've read that the wiring up to the master socket belongs to BT, but have I
already violated this by discarding the socket?

Thanks in advance,

Ant Harris
