I'm using a Vonage V-Portal, but not the newer one's that don't have LCD's, this is the one with the built in Caller ID. I used to use this phone on this VoIP box for years before putting the phone away. It's only after the phone was in storage did it start having these problems.

I'll need to re-examine the switch hook and see if I can see any issue, perhaps it needs more cleaning than alcohol and deoxit.

I could test the capacitor if needed, but neither does the schematic, nor does the cap itself, say what the value is.
Take the phone apart that works properly and check the capacitor in it. I don't think the circuitry changed that much.
It's good to see that you recovered from your severe health issues.
