I just acquired a Kellogg Red Bar with no dial.  Can I give it a Western Electric dial, and make it work properly, or do I have to use an Automatic Electric dial?

It will work with an AE dial and a Kellogg dial but the WE dial doesn't have the correct contacts.

It might look unusual with a WE dial too as they are not generally seen on one.

You may get it working with both dials, but the redbar had many different networks to work with different systems, so we may need more info to know how it should be put in working condition. Alo the Ringers and capacitors could be different so more info, and hopefully pitures needed to find the solution.
