Hello,
I'm trying to find the correct replacement base for Merlin BIS-22 sets for
desktop use. The ones that I purchased recently don't fit. When I picked up
them up from my parts dealer, I questioned him about them and was assured
that they would fit. It looks as though he gave me ones for BIS-10 sets.
Prior to that I was able to scrounge up several of the uprights (the part
that usually breaks) from one of my peers, however, these didn't match up
with what the customer had either. At the time I assumed that they must have
been for BIS-34 sets.
Later on, after scrounging through some old stock, I found an old BIS-22 set
complete with brackets. Oddly enough, these match the ones that I mistakenly
thought were for BIS-34 sets. The strange thing is that these are wider than
the broken one that the customer had on hand. I am reasonably sure that the
phone is a BIS-22 and I don't think that it makes a difference whether it's
a display or non-display set. Any idea as to what I'm running into here?
Along similar lines, I vaguely recall that someone used to make replacement
bases out of metal. The problem is that I don't remember who they were and I
couldn't find anything when I did a search. Perhaps I didn't use the correct
search terms. Any help with that?
Obviously, I will be returning the incorrect ones to my parts dealer and
hope that he has the correct ones on hand. But the problem still remains as
to which ones are indeed the correct ones based upon my comparison of the
"scrounged" uprights that I now know for a fact are meant for BIS-22 sets
and the one that the customer had, which was not as wide, but did fit her
phone.
One more point that I'd like to make is that I am not looking for those old,
one piece, cast type bases that AT&T used to make, although, if I could find
ones that fit, that could be an option, albeit an expensive one.
Thanks in advance to those who post a reply.
Peter.
