I had a similar problem with a phone with a mechanical ringer
What I did was to tape some paper onto the bell where
the clapper contacted the bell - this made the phone much
quieter, but I did not have much control over changing the
volume - short of opening the phone up again and messing
with the paper.

Hope this helps
