Default GPO 232 won't dial.

Guys
after a little guidance. I picked up a 232 without a bell box for a very good little price.

I have piggy backed it off my 300 series junction box and using the 300 to dial out everything connects and I can hear dial tone speak hear etc but cannot dial at all, can here the pulses but they are very quiet. It hangs up and picks up ok.

Checked the wiring and it seems to be wired up right as a MK2 and I am guessing as mostly works it points to something to do with the dial ??

Also I was looking at putting a little bell inside the case as I have seen done before a chang cheng bell I think and it should connect across terms 1 & 2 I think? Are there any other bell type solutions wanted to keep it pretty much as is, looks great dinky.

Also what resistance should I be expecting across the microphone ?

Couple of pictures of the wiring(not the best) and one of the overall phone just for fun.
Thanks for any help you can offer, I have another dial around and may try switching that over when i get a second.

Thanks
Dave
