I bought two re-conditioned Western Electric Trimline (r) rotary
phones a while back from an AT&T Phone Store -- love that old
technology :) .  They both have a distortion problem when speaking in
a normal voice or louder.  My guess is overmodulation.  Is there a way
to cure this, perhaps by reducing the gain somehow?

                            Thanks, John Parsons
