Field Phones: a question of current....

[Tom Norris]

( to multiple recipients, including the BA list)

I have what may be a stupid question about field phones in general -
the EE-8, TA-312, TA-43, etc. I have a project that will require a
current of approx 6ma to key a remote control ( similar to the
method used by modern and not so modern commercial gear )
Do these generate enough current when the ptt switch is pressed
to do the job or do the phones just create the bare minimum to make
thier own loop ( current unknown to me, that is why I am asking )
work? Can someone recommend a field phone that might work and
that might be available for cheap from the usual sources. Or any
sources for that matter......

Darned I wish I could find my pair of EE-8's.

I promise it will be used to control stuff with tubes in it,  Jack. :-)

Thanks


Tom
