Panasonic KX-T2365A Phone, to 2 Wire..

It's been proven time and again here that Roger's no rocket scientist. Just be patient, he'll get it working eventually.

No its plugged into the TAM..

No other tidy options..

I don't do work like that,it has to go into the Phone, Plus the RAL of 2.4 is very high..

Funny I was a development Eng for many many Years, 11 with DataBank and had my name posted in the DOM..

Probably nobody is impressed by that except your conceited self. It's hardly a major achievement - lots of people get their name in the paper for various reasons, both good and bad. Do you want a medal, or a chest to pin it on?

That being the case, why is this simple, simple problem, which has had the solution posted now about 140 times, causing you so much grief ???

You claim in another post that you (used to) have a clue or two. If you hadn't spent so much time whingeing about the problem here you'd have it working by now.

I said it's not rocket science, and it isn't - unless, of course, you've forgotten Ohm's Law. Get a 0.47uF or 1 uF 250V polyester capacitor. There'll almost certainly be enough space for it somewhere in the case, even if you have to extend the leads. If it really won't fit, then build a dongle - a matchbox-sized plastic case from Dick Smith to contain the capacitor, and a couple of short lengths of cable with plugs and sockets to match the TAM socket and the phone plug. Use double-sided foam tape to attach the dongle to the back of the TAM out of the way. Done in a workmanlike fashion it'll satisfy the fussiest wife.

So? Provided the TAM's RAL is less than 2.6, no problem.

What I have seen No Solutions posted that meats my regiments..

I do not bodge things..

Well no one Sells 1UF 250v caps around here plus the TAM is already stuck to the wall.

I have a large number of 0.47 uF Caps around here but no voltage given..

That's not our problem then. Go away and solve it yourself.

Hey, a new nick for you - Bodger.

Nobody is asking you to bodge anything - although it has to be questioned, if you believe that they are, if what you want to do is a ' bodge ' in the first place ...

There have been a number of solutions posted, with methods of implementation that no proper engineer would consider to be bodging, so sadly, I have to conclude that we are all wasting our time with you, as you clearly don't have the necessary expertise or understanding of what you are trying to do, to carry out the work successfully.

And it's " meet " not " meats ".

And " regimen " not " regiments ". And that's not a good word in this context anyway, as it normally refers to medical treatment programs.

So how long have you been in the Trade, I have been in it for some 40 years or more.

What I was after is the Correct way to make this phone into a 2 wire device, no one seems to know..

Plus were do I get a Small 1uF 250V cap from...?

Seems that this was way over peoples heads here..

So Please make some useful comments when you know ALL the FACTS..

Someone has already suggested taking one out of a jackpoint. 5 years ago they were the smallest I could find. I was putting 2-3 wire converters into the housing of a double adapter.

If you want people to have "ALL the FACTS" why set no-archive? Your earlier posts have only 3 days visibility left in Google at the moment.

I too have been involved in the trade for the better part of 40 years, and made a living for a considerable time fixing phones, so please don't question my credentials. You have been told how to accomplish what you want to do, in at least 3 totally correct and practical ways. If you have really been in the trade for 40 years, and yet don't know where to buy perfectly standard components, I can only assume that you have had your head tucked somewhere that the sun doesn't shine, for most of that time.

The only " correct way " that I can see left for you to reach your goal of having a two wire phone, is to stop pissing about, throw the 3 wire phone away, and just buy a new two wire.

That's now ALL the FACTS ( sheesh ... ) that I'm interested in, and anything else you say will certainly go over // my // head, because that it precisely where I will // let // it go. Get a life and stop wasting good people's time, who have tried and tried to help you.

It's what he does.

AS they do not make phones like this one any more I can't see the Point..

No one has, they should have looked at the Device data sheet first, before they Ramble on, a BA8205 from memory..

I did. That's how I knew the advice I gave you was valid. You can take that advice or not, it's up to you. But as several other people have pointed out, trying for perfection in this phone is not the most important thing you could be doing with the (probably quite few) years remaining to you, regardless of how much "bodging" it offends your sense of craftsmanship.

For example, stowing a capacitor somewhere in the body of the phone with flyleads to the circuit board is not "bodging", manufacturers of highly regarded equipment do it too. Hardware bugs requiring such patches are no less common than software bugs. Provided you take the usual precautions to prevent vibration flexing the leads, it's a perfectly valid fix. Splicing the capacitor into the phone cord and covering it with matching (white) heatshrink is valid, too. It'll look just like the ferrite cores added to many leads nowadays.

Before you reply, ask yourself this question: If you were paying someone else to convert this phone from 3 wire to 2 wire for you, how much would you be prepared to pay?

But the Telecom socket converts 2 wires into 3 So it only matters if they're not plugging into a Telecom socket.

Not anymore they dont, go read the telepermit site. They were talking about a new distinction on the front of them of 2C for 2 contacts. I havent bought any BT sockets in close to 8 years because its all RJ45 here and I just chop the plug off the phone and change it.
