That phone turned out very well for Christian. Here is the "after" photo, after a good application of elbow grease (photo from another topic thread).

We really need to see this "before" picture to put into context what a great job you did on this phone.

The Mediterranean Blue phone looks great, Christian!  Now you need to get a nice dial card for the finger wheel.

Thanks everyone!!! I do need to get a nice dial card for it. Anyone know of a website where I can find copies of authentic dial cards?

Yeah, lots of collectors use this one. Obviously they aren't real but you can print for free.

The size is around 1.5x1.5 inches.

You should have warned us about how bright that phone looks. Now I am going to have that shape burned in my eyes for the rest of the day. Darn!









PS: Outstanding job.  ;D ;D ;D

Too much topic !! oufff ..........There so much that we have trouble finding the right forum or sub-forum. It seems to me that I've already read somewhere that a member had asked to condense the topics ;)
