Hi everyone, My name is Kasoma and i am new to electronics, and have a few questions i hope you can help me with. I work as University custodian and have access to many areas, of the school including the computer maintaince areas. One of thes areas is a computer help desk, that has a old fashioned desk phone with a homemade ringer light. I thought this was really cool and wanted to make one. Not knowing about electonics i removed the cover( looks like they used a light housig from a trailer light) it has one short phone line, with a a capacitor on one wire and resistor on the other side each to the bulb. I copied ths diagram down and went to Radio Shack, and they were really unhelpful for the parts i needed. This was discouragring, and now i have lost the diagram. i tried googling this ringer diagram and came up with only 120 volt pwered lights, not what i want. This ringer is powered by the phone. I have access to student electonics labs that have many parts that look similar to what the original had. could i use a Led for the light? Thanks for any help you can give me in completing this project.
