I have just purchased an antique phone that has no 
circuitry other than wires leading to the microphone
and earpiece. Can anyone suggest some minimal wiring
that will smooth out the signal a bit? It is very
peaky. I know that there is some kind of variable
resistor in most phones that performs rudimentary
compression on the signal. Can anyone help out?
