G'day.

There is an old thread about this subject but it wasn't much help to me.

I want a Telephone Ringer to make a real phone ring on the stage in live theatre.

I can't find anything in Australia.

I did find this and it would do the job if I can't find any thing else.

Any body have any other ideas?

Thanks.

oops.

Yeap, sorry, new here, I am the Lighting Operator.

I also know about other electronic stuff so I got this job. I was hoping to find something in Oz.

We would like the phone in the stage to ring with a press button off stage rather than have the sound guy play something through the house PA.

There were kits to do this back in the mid 90s but they are no longer available.

I can get a photocopy of the article for $10 & build it myself & it looks like that is what I'll have to do.

The telephone test equipment people have stuff but it has too many functions & would cost more than the one from the US.

Catchya, Cliff
