What subsets do I need for a WE Space Saver and AE Spacemaker?

[Greg G.]

I'm wanting to put these into use, what are the proper subsets I need for them?  Will a 302 base work for a subset on the WE?

Any WE subset will work with the  WE phone. Don't know about the AE.

The type 183 AE set does not need a subset.It has a network in it.Just any standard ringer and capacator to match .The AE ext ringer for this set is plastic and about 6X6X2" Might be called a Type 45

Greg,
           Hook up the 183 and start dialing-   L1 red to 15 and L 2 green to 16     stub

Good, that's good to know.  If I want to get picky and be "BSP Correct", is there a particular subset that was used for these?

For the WE with the F1 handset, you would want a 684

Revisiting this thread because I'm bringing out some of my wall phones to put up.  I found this link to the GTE Type 33 ringer box: http://tinyurl.com/hn977ex (I'm in the market for one).

Yes, type 33 ringer is what should be with a 183 assuming that you need a ringer for it. They were made in all AE colors but Beige seems easiest by far to find. Here, BC Tel only used beige 33 ringers and didn't worry about matching colors. I have beige and possibly ivory spares but that is it unless you want to paint one. Your 183 is black so if you want a black 33 ringer I would think they would show up on eBay more frequently than some of the other colors.

As mentioned previously, everything else is built into the "superior" AE 183 SpaceMaker! (Unbiased neutral observation)

A beige one on eBay at the moment:

  Terry,
            That one on e-bay you showed Greg is a frequency ringer.
            Here's the only black one I've seen in a few years on e-bay .
            I have a pink 183 on it's way for this pink ringer, if the postal service don't break it !! Still looking for that  C ringer and phone !!!!   stub

Oh didn't notice that. Was just looking for a quick picture of one to post. Was hoping Greg wouldnt buy it at that price though if he wants a beige one.

Is your pink 33 painted? Black one isn't yours, Or is it?

C = Dawn Gray ...i got the best deal on eBay on my Dawn Gray 183 at about $32! Never seen a Gray 33 though but they likely existed. I never bothered trying to get 33's in all colors.

Are you working on all colors of 182's and 33's? How are you progressing? Pictures?
