Does anyone know where I can find an Attendants's dial and dial mount for a WE 556A Switchboard?
This is what it looks like.
I think they used a No. 6E dial.
These do show up on eBay occasionally, and sometimes I have seen entire units, dial and mounting.
Does it take the same dial mounting as the 555A?
The 555A has a 6044C-3 6044-type dial mounting, This assembly includes the following:
44C-3 44-type dial mounting
D5AJ cord
25C Connecting Block
59B dial adapter
Used with a 6-type dial
per BSP 501-160-100-i9
I think so. Or is it a 6044B ? I think the C suffix had 6A dial.
PS: On the other hand if the 555A had a 6A dial, perhaps so the 556A ?
But the picture appears to show an angled/twisted finger stop, which the 6A did not have.
I thought the switchboard dials were Fs. I have a 5F and a 6F and a 5L. All have a switchboard type finger stops. All are for sale. PM me with an offer for one or all three. They spin faster than a 5H or 6A dial....Doug
The #6F dial is also a switchboard dial, indeed, but it runs at 20 PPS, so it would only be installed in those exchange areas that supported it.
The 6E is a 10 PPS dial.
