Hello,
I'm working on a very nice WE 500 C/D, but I'm hearing dial pulses. The dial is a 9CA. I've checked
and can find no issues. Can Someone point me in the right direction to eliminate the problem.

I'd swap out the dial completely, but the phone is WE Avacado color and I don't know how to, or
if possible to swap out the Avacado number ring.

Thanks for your help,
John

When you hear that, either the shunt contacts are separating, or, it has been given too much oil, and some of it dripped onto those contacts.  That drop of oil is a conductor, making it act as if the contacts are not separating.  Check it out.

Hello,
Thanks for your prompt reply ! Much appreciated.  I will absolutely check out the shunt contacts and report back.  The 'good' news is I haven't applied any oil to the dial.

Sorry, I meant that the shunt contacts are NOT separating.
