    I have a telephone that I'm trying to fix. The dictionary
identifies it as a "300" model telephone. We last used it in 1976 and
it worked fine then.  Now, when I plug it in I can dial out; it will
ring when we receive a call and I can answer the call and here the
other party's voice; but when I try to talk, it won't transmit my
voice.  I've tried swapping the microphone element with a phone that
works, and I know that it is good, so the fault must be elsewhere in
the phone. I've looked inside and nothing obvious is broken, but,
while I can identify most of the individual components, I don't know
how they all work together.

    Can anyone give me advice on fixing this telephone, or tell me
where to look for information?
