He watched too many hollywood movies that showed the japanese torture of Americans by using the ringing generator from the field telephones -- it could crank out almost 100 VAC!!
Only problem - ONLY the NVA and VC used that type of equipment back then - NOT us!!

Not true, EE 8 phones and field switchboards were used all over the country in forward trains areas.
The ringing current is 90 volts, the type of magnetos that are used to stun fish, etc,
