20 Most Recent Disney Classic Mickey Mouse Telephone Questions & Answers

This may be something as simple as REVERSING the line wires or a bad tone pad. Some pre 1980's tone pads didn't have polarity guard (EPG) and that's what we used to restrict dialing on touch tone lines (poor man's dialing restriction).

You can open up the jack the phone plugs into and reverse the red and green wires, or open up the phone and do the same thing. If it were my choice, I'd reverse the jack. If that doesn't fix it, pry off the faceplate cover over the dial, read the part number on the right side of the tone pad and post back. I'm sure I have an equivalent in the warehouse (outside of my 2 TT Mickey's) that I can give you a price on.

Thanks to Eli Whitney (interchangable parts), there is probably a solution to this. http://www.public.carl.airpost.net/Phones/sc500.pdf
Try forcing Mickey's hand up and see if you get sound.
The spring that keeps it up is probably deteriorated over time. A little spring bending and strengthening will make "e" and "f" contacts seperate when you raise the handset.

Since ATC's used Comdial/Stromberg parts, this will be really close to your wiring diagram.
