You only need two wires for the subset to wall cord.

You'll also need two jumper wires for the inside switch. You can just use some station wire for that. If you want to get proper you can order them here..

Thanks for the link to oldphoneworks. I purchased the dial overlay from them on ebay but they have many more goodies on their website.

All the line cords I see with a modular end are four conductor (yellow, green, red, black) Would i just buy the four conductor and not use two of the wires?

You're welcome.

Yes, use the red and green and tape the black and yellow.

I just finished up some shopping for my first phone project. Here's what I ordered:

1 - Cloth covered handset cord: brown 3 conductor with spade ends (white, red & black leads)

1 - Cloth covered subset cord: brown 4 conductor with spade ends (Red, green, yellow & black leads)

1 - Cloth covered line cord: brown 4 conductor with spade ends on one side and modular plug on the other (red, green, yellow & black leads)

2 – Jumper leads with spade ends

2 – Celluloid dial card covers

1 – assorted dial cards

1 – Kellogg water decal (for the subset)

I'm going to stop off at a crafts store over the weekend and see if I can pick up some material to recover the base of my 202.

OMG! How cruel! Were you afraid they might reproduce? ;)

Wouldn't be a bad thing if they did. Imagine. Then, you could have a whole range of cords from little baby ones to full grown ones. Did the vet charge much to spay them?

Spade or Spaded. No biggie, but the devil made me do it!

Sorry. Blame my father for that. He was the Head of the Department of English when I was going to school :-)

He wasn't just the Head of the English Department, he was Head of the English Department in Brockville Ontario, home of Automatic Electric Canada. You skipped right over some of the most important details.

That, at least makes it phone related :-) By the way, I just posted a couple of Phillips Electrical Works and GTE/AE photos to the AE50 - Factory or Mod thread...

OK, so I did some more work on my project today. I believe at this point I am ready to work on the subset box. Please let me know if you see anything askew with my wiring, I used this wiring diagram to wire up the 5H dial and new cords.

Looks great.  The wiring looks like it should.

I think I just had a mild heart attack at the sight of the switch stack disassembled and piled up. ;)

I wanted to confirm a few things before I proceed. I wanted to make sure that the two pieces indicated below are the only pieces I need from the 302, and that I identified them correctly.

1) 

Pretty much the only thing I'm leaving in the subset is the ringer, correct? What's #1 below, is that part of the condenser?

2)
