Business Phone Repair Parts

"GRRRRRRRRRR"

I WAS MAD! I had just sold 3 Modkey phones for an add-on. I knew we had 30 new ones in stock. I opened the boxes to make sure everything was there... and the were NO HANDSETS in any of the 30 brand new phones! I went Berserk! I found them scratched up and broken under seats, rolling around in trunks, laying behind the shelves in vans and piled in cardboard boxes. GREAT...The only problem with these handsets was a bad $4.00 transmitter OR receiver (hardly ever both), or a bad $2 modular jack, and we'd junked all these handsets! NOW we fix 'em right there at the customer's desk!

 

TRANSMITTERS

Electret Transmitters:
EMS-93 (EM95 Copy)-Silver-Saltshaker: $4.35. (Mitel, TIE CX- VDS-Modkey-612, Isoetec, Vodavi, Starplus, Northern Tel & MORE). EMS-93 is the same shape as a Carbon Transmitter, but the front is Silver instead of Black or Gray plastic. You can see this thru the holes in the mic end of the handset, so you know which type of handset you've got. If you use a Carbon transmitter on a phone that needs an electret, you will get VERY high side tone. If you use a electret on a phone that needs a carbon, you will get NO transmit.
EMS-93L (EM95-A Copy-Low Output): $4.35. Use this one when the Sidetone (your voice in your own ear) sounds too hot!
EM104 Plastic version of EMS-93L Xmitter: $4.99. (In newer sets after about 1988; TIE CX-VDS-Modkey-612, Vodavi & MORE). This Low Output Electret has a circuit board, usually with a yellow dot on a light gray plastic face. These are usually dead or alive. If you have low volume, the screen (yellow dot) may be clogged with whatever, you may be able to clean it off or tear it out.
EM116 Noise Cancelling: $17.95. Fits in any Handset K-Style or G-Style!
EM1 Pencil Eraser Sized with Pins: $2.89. Toshiba, 6500, Comdial, Panasonic & Lots More!
EM9949 Capsule: $2.99. Approximately 3/8" Diameter by 3/16" Tall. For Cordless phones etc.
EM9959 Capsule: $2.99. Approximately 1/4" Diameter by 3/16" Tall. Very small with NO PINS.
High Output Electret Mics: Use these for Handsfree ICM & Speakerphones:
EM9963 High Output 2 wire Capsule: $4.59. 3/8" x 3/16" for HF ICM/SPU.
EM-44 High Output 3 wire Capsule: $4.39 3/8" x 3/8" for HF ICM/SPU.
Carbon Transmitters:
T100 Standard High Quality Carbon Xmitter: $2.89.
EM89-5 Electronic Carbon Replacement with High Quality Sound. Fixes ITT-701 Problems: $14.95.
EM117-Noise Cancelling: $27.95. Fits any Handset, K-Style or G-Style!
Dynamic Transmitters: A Dynamic Transmitter is actually a Receiver cartridge being used
as a Transmitter. Usually, the elements will be the same size for transmit and receive (2 big or
2 small cartridges). Important: Cut one side of the Varistor to use a receiver with a
Varistor as a transmitter!
MT91 DH25 sized small xmitter: $3.99. Use for Telrad, Paragon, Toshiba 5000-6000, NEC, Macrotel, Prostar & MORE! Note: Toshiba phones in the 6000 series era have a strap on the motherboard to allow you to use a carbon handset or headset in place of the original dynamic. If the handsets get mixed up, you could get really screwed up! CHECK THOSE STRAPS!
Transmitter Spacer: $ .99 to use small MT91 as Xmitter in Handset for large Xmitter.
Transmitter Adapter: $ .99 to use large R-8 or R-7 as Xmitter in our Handset shells.
MR82: DH26 Copy (NON HAC) Use it as a Xmitter or Reciever: $4.35.
R-7: $3.99. Full Sized Xmitter - Limited Supply (no longer made) ESP, GLX, GMX & SW Bell. Important: If the phone has an R-7 as the xmitter, replace it with an R-7 or you'll have low volume!!!
R-8: $3.89. Full Sized Xmitter (Receiver too!) Cut Varistor off when used as Xmitter!
Ceramic Transmitters:
CT-4: $5.99. Ceramic Transmitter (Omega IV).
CR-5: $5.99. NON HAC Receiver/Transmitter.
Ceramic Receivers:
CR-5C - HAC: $6.59. Not interchangeable with CR-5!
CR-5 - Non HAC: $5.99 Receiver/Transmitter. Note: The Walker Poet & Marathon, Executone CX use the CR5 and CR5C. They are NOT interchangeable...No way to know which one until you open it up!
Standard Large Size Receivers: Work in 1A2, 2500 Sets, K & G Style AND MORE!
R-8: $3.89. Standard HAC Receiver. (100 @ $3.10 each)
R-100: #$4.30. BEST Standard HAC Receiver (Huge HAC Coil) Limited Supply - Manufacturer Discontinued.
U-3: $ .99. USED AT&T Untested HAC Receivers (100 @ $ .60).
Varistor: $ .50. Stops clicks in Ear!

These elements are used in all kinds of phones. Most manufacturers are moving away from Carbon transmitters, since electrets require very little current. NOTE: Because there is an FET (Transistor) inside electret mics, they blow out from static electricity often (winters are worse).

Having Static Shocks? Mix a 50/50 mixture of Downey Fabric Softener and Water in a plant sprayer with a nice big trigger, and spray the carpet, chairs, etc. It lasts about 2 months, and stops problems with computers as well as phones. It's CHEAP!

Small Size Receivers:
HR-91: $3.89. DH26 size HAC Receiver with Screws-Strip wire and put under screw - (100 @ $3.10). This small unit is in NEC, TIE Paragon, Macrotel, Toshiba 5000 - 6000 - 6500 and ?, AT&T, Panasonic, Lanier and Lots More!
NOTE: There are primarily 2 sizes of Receivers. HR-91: 1 3/8" Diameter by 3/4" High and the R-8: 1 3/4" Diameter by 7/8" High.
DH-60C: $3.89. HAC Receiver with Solder Lugs.
DH-60ESA: $3.99. 300 Ohm HAC with Solder Lugs.
DH-52 & DH-26: $ .99. Use DH60 (Solder) or HR91 (Screw) Receiver Spacer to use HR-91 or DH-60 as Large Size Receiver in Handset.
NR85A: $3.99. Mini HAC Receiver (Trendline etc.) Includes Spacer to make it full size.
NR85W: $3.99. 300 Ohm Mini HAC (Trendline etc.) Does NOT include Spacer.

Rubber Button Repair!

NEW FORMULA!! Now you have 2 days to Paint the Buttons! No more 20 minute working time. This epoxy will now last 2 days...Low Stress Formula!

Certain Phone Manufacturers have chosen to use an Ink Coating over a Non-Conductive Rubber Button, instead of a real Conductive Rubber button. This ink flakes off after a couple of years, guaranteeing that the phone will be back for refurbishing a few times over its life. This is an annuity for these manufacturers! And they do it on purpose!

  • Rubber Button 2 Vial Kit: $24.95
  • Rubber Button 6 Vial Kit: $59.95

    Each Vial does 5 to 20 phones! Now fix: NEC; Walker; Comdial; Executone; AT&T Cordless; Remotes; Cellular and More! Epoxy with a 2 day working time. This stuff won't fall off! You need a razor blade to get it off a button. Easy! Just Mix: Paint: and let Dry and it's fixed!

    Be sure to read our technical bulletin on Rubber Button Repair!

    COMDIAL TIP:
    Bruce Clark of Commercial Phone Repair in Jacksonville, Fl, says that he's found the cause of totally dead keypads. Bruce says to WIPE the traces around the HOLD button on the PC Board. He says he's found flakes shorting the hold button, which kills all the keys!

    Phones with these Switches were Designed to go Bad and Every one will!

If there's a maintenance contract, I make money by replacing all the switches and then hardly ever hearing from him again!
