QuoteMcHeath, What style of elements are in your handset?

Standard T1 and U1, and it even has a four conductor handset cord connected to the coil in the 354!  Sidetone was WAY too loud when I first got the phone back into service, so I experimented about and by moving the handset cords to different locations was able to tame it down to acceptable levels.

The Kellogg DK500 is an interesting phone. Kellogg also made a phone (I forget the model #) that had the model 1000 RedBar parts inside. They rotated the dial to look like a Western dial and even made their own case and G handset.

Heath, that's an interesting arrangement on your 354.  I'm surprised a tech would have changed out the handset with a G3 instead of replacing the entire phone.  Maybe the customer didn't want a new phone, and maybe Ma Bell wasn't covering repair techs on compatibility anymore by 1970, as F handsets still in use were relatively few and far between, and 300 series components were likely on Ma's hit list should they have been found out there.  Otherwise one would think he would have known there'd be a sidetone issue with the T1/U1 combination.
