Ok... So...
I know this has been discussed before, but I can't find it in any of the forums...
So....
the summer is over and now I am done with the community theatre and now I am on to the high school program.
I need to make a phone ring... in the past at the high school we used a cheap and poorly timed electronic ring sound effect.
That really won't fit the play and I want something with a bit more class.
At the community theatre we have an existing system, the power converter is in the booth, it has 20 some outputs of varous voltages and frequencys... it is run with a few door bell buttons..... simple, but very reliable...
At the CT, I think we used 10v to make a phone ring.... and if I remember correctly, it take between 90-100v to talk on a phone, but we only need it to ring.
I am not entirly sure how to do this with a very modest budget....
I know you can buy a wounderful system for makeing phones ring, but it costs around $140 as I remember, and that is more than my entire budget, so... I am looking for a much cheaper solution....
Any help would be great!
Thanks
