Well, it looked and smelled like a 174 and it was. The number on the back was not legible but the rest of it seemed right. Item #332551905977 They had no key for it but they did mention that the bells and wires were inside. Well there was a bell and wires inside but it was missing the coin chutes, hopper and relay and whatever else you can notice. I would like to complete the phone so I am looking for the correct parts. Any thoughts and/or comments are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks,

As converted to a 174G, it would have had a 10-cents stainless steel chute. Jim has a bunch of C-stock 10c chutes (payphone installer on this forum).
Corrected: As Jim said, 174GT had a single coil relay.
Part number P-10E786 per BSP 506-319-403, Issue 1, 8/59 (in 1969 NET&T Installation Handbook, Vol.2)
The 174GT is a rare phone. I would have to go out and look but I am pretty sure that the GT meant single coil relay. The chute would have been stainless. So you need a single coil relay and a later hopper like in a 223 or 233 50's payphone. I have all those parts. Lots of folks want to take the phone and return it to its early two piece role. I personally disagree with doing that. So many 174's have been butchered that they are becoming rare. I would restore it to a 174GT. Here is the chute you need in the box with the screw to hold it in. Item 372224468350 on eBay but seller ATCA which is me. Jim
