A first for me.

I was removing the dial card ring from my WE5302, West Point phone, to clean the dirt under the finger wheel. When I removed the nut, the spider washer fell off in pieces. Where can I buy a few of these ?  This is the first broken one I've found.

Wow... I've never seen that, either.  You might try the usual online suspects, but personally, I wouldn't worry about it.   The nut alone holds the fingerwheel just fine.

I've seen them both with and without the spider washer.

With that said, however, I have several spares, and I'd be glad to drop one in the mail to you. Please PM or e-mail me your address, and I'll send one out to you on Monday.

Sounds like a classic case of non-tropicalization to me   ;D

Got the washer, the phone no longer looks naked.
Thank you very much.

Dan,
Glad that I could be of some help to a fellow collector.
