You must be a real phone fan to know that proper ring generation is at 20Hz,

Yes, I am. I have an analog PBX in my house.

I was building a cordless Western Electric 2500 desk set, so I needed to ring the original bell with a 3.6V battery pack. I ended up rewinding the coil for lower voltage and using a 555 timer oscillator feeding an H-bridge driver to make it ring. It sounded exactly like the real thing.
