I bought old analog telephone.
I tried to make microphone from telephone speaker and mic.
Carbon mic was to noisy and quiet.
Speaker worked well untill I realized that open soledring between to cabels is bad.
I tried to fix the problem. Speaker uses cable terminals. I dont have any cabel terminal right now.
I got some cabel with cabel terminals right size from same phone.
When I changed cabels speaker stoped working. Maybe the cabel or jack or both was bad what I was using . I was thinking to use tin can as a cover for mic.
Some telephone pictures for getting more and better help.
I bought old wooden candle legs for mic legs
Found two tin cans at home.
I was thinking to make something like this
Or something like this
I wanna make steampunk microphone from old analog telephone speaker or mic.
I have no idea how to make speaker to work and how to connect speaker with leg.
I know how to connect tin can with wooden leg.

That should work. If it was working once, but now doesn't, then you obviously have a bad connection somewhere. Did you try to put the speaker at the bottom of one of those cans to see if it would amplify the output at all?
