Looks very nice, Gregg.  Nice job!  Is that an original dial card in there?

WesternElectricBen

Nice early 500! Is the handset cord replaced, because I think it would have a straight cord or am I mistaken?

Ben

Very nice, I see what you were talking about when you asked about 554's, a 1955 one, lets hope its parts matching!

I made the link click-able: http://tinyurl.com/lv475f5

Wow that looks really nice, how much did you give for it? I wonder if it was restored previously with that number card.

Kind of like what I use..
