Old telephone wiring.

[sft42]

I am currently trying to re-wire an old 60's style phone for use and am stuggling with the wiring....the 4 colours on the new wiring are red, black, green and yellow and the old colours from wall to phone are red, green blue and white...anyone have any ideas how to go about rewiring this? or any websites with info?

Try here: http://www.wppltd.demon.co.uk/WPP/Wiring/UK_teleph
one/uk_telephone.html Are you trying to replace the actual lead from the phone to the wall? The important thing to remember is that the red and green of the original wiring correspond to the 2 and 5 pins on the modern set. Pin 3 is for the ringing and needs to be connected to white. Here's how to do it: http://www.telephonesuk.co.uk/images/phone_convert

Thanks that was better than anything I could find but it doesn't really have the info I needed....I'll try the old wire it and see if it works method.
