I picked up a red thermoplastic Conn Handset on eBay. It was a mess, BUT no cracks or chips. Alot of Norvus II and more elbow grease and it came out really nice. I had a Nickel Conn Toaster phone, so it was a match I couldn't resist. The red dial card is a homemade card. I have a red Conn dial card somewhere!! I looking for it...Doug

The chrome and red go together so well!

That's a great way to avoid the new income tax associated with PayPal and ebaY. BUY rather than SELL!

thanks guys....I am really happy with it myself. I've been after a red thermo Conn Handset for awhile. When I opened the box, I sure was disappointed. Paint...scratches...gunk. Norvus II is just amazing. I didn't trust a wet sand as I haven't seen one of these in ages.  I left the black cloth cord and both cords are black. The red I have is just too red. more a blood red.

I certainly thought I had a red Conn dial card waiting for this future project. I can find a blue, but not a red. Did they make a red dial card? I certainly thought they did....Doug
