Very nice Ray!

Outstanding phone. I've always liked AE47 (I think that's what it is). The SEAGLASS version is beautiful.

Yes, Jorge; handset too. They are completely separate processes, so I will do those later.

Stunning!

Is there a chance you may make a cast set of shell, handset and caps in another semi transparent color? I am sure there are people out there that have not so nice looking AE40s that would be willingly to transplant their sets into a new set of plastics ...

But this is an AE Model 47.

Amazing, well done!

Ray. In your second picture on the left side there is 6 or so dark "pegs" near the rear of the case. Are those bosses to be drilled or tapped?

Harry;
those are the cast-in-place brass threaded inserts. This is what all of those brass screws thread into that hold all of the terminal wires in the body of the phone.

Working on it!

OK, that makes sense. TY

I'm not usually a fan of see through phones but these Kleenax phones are something else and the only ones I like.
A whole shelf - or even better - display of these would be amazing.
Very clever and dedicated work.

Thank you; most appreciated!
