I have a traditional rural land line with two 2500 sets [1] attached.
Recently I've been getting intermittent weak ringing: sometimes a
ring, sometimes a weak chatter (no gong), sometimes nothing audible.
Moving the clapper spring to the low-voltage position seems to have
fixed it for now.

My guess is a corodded connection somewhere between your phone and the
CO.
Measure ring voltage (an analog multimeter would be best) at the NIJ and
at your phones. A significant difference would place the bad connection
on your territory. Little or no difference puts it in the telco's lap.
Also see if a phone rings better at the NIJ than its normal place. This
would also indicate the problem is yours.
A partial short would have a similar effect and test.
