302 Dial card holder

[oldguy]

Hi guys, the finger wheel on my WE 302 has 3 evenly spaced slots for holding the dial card holder. I have seen only have 2 tabs for mounting. Is there a dial card holder that has 3 tabs I can use for this phone?

that might be a #1 fingerwheel.Are you sure i is a Western Electric dial?

It would help if you post photos of the front and back of the dial and tell us any manufacturer info marked on the dial.

One maker that used three evenly spaced slots was Stromberg Carlson.

Here are pics of the dial.

Stromberg  dial .The plastic #card covers are prone to warping and are hard to find.Hiltz might have them

Gary...I never had any luck with those SC dials, to me they are a low quality dial. I would replace with an AE. Just my humble opinion....good luck....Doug

does this mean this is a Stromberg Carlson phone? I couldn't any marking (but then again my old eyes aren't as young as they used to be). what dial would you recommend (Make & model)? I take it nobody makes anything after market?

The dial is Stromberg-Carlson, the rest of the phone appears to be Western Electric.

good eyes Christian...I thought it was a SC1243 at a quick glance. A WE 5H or 6A is a better choice for a dial and would belong on this set....Doug
