Hey all, I'm in need of a plain old hardwired white G handset. If anybody has one lying around, let me know!

I just was looking for the same but ended up using a modular with no modular connector on Mic Cup. I saw Ma Bell do the same back in the day, so it is not that unusual. Cord fits nicely in the modular cutout

Yes G15A's can be used in place with the proper cup for the transmitter. The notches are hardly noticeable after the cord from it conforms to the new space.

It's for a 500, I have a G15A on there now but I'm way OCD, so the notch bothers me 🤣 That's why I'm looking around.

[Key2871]

Yea, I understand. I'm that way too.
If I'm watching a tv show suposidly from the 60s and see a G15A on a 500 set I know someone wasn't paying attention in props.

I'm constantly pointing things out to my fiancé.
"Touch tone didn't exist then."
"That 554 wouldn't have been modular."
"That 302 is ringing like a 500."

You can drill out the modular notching to better match your hard-wire handset cord. Just use another hard-wire handset to determine the size of drill bit to use.

I have the same situation with a pink G3. I thought about using one of those cone shaped drill bits to better navigate the hard 90 degree corners in the modular hole and control the finished size of the hole.

Anyone ever tried that?

[Key2871]

I have not, but that's a very good way of doing it, much cleaner hole that way and less chance of the bit catching and tearing out plastic.
