Yikes!   

Seriously, that phone looks complete and should clean up nicely.  Post some pics after you've cleaned it up so we can see what you are up against.

The original cord is sweet, is it in usable condition?

How is this coming along?

I haven't had a chance to get to it yet. Been busy. Just sent a 534A cover to the powder-coater (had a couple of coats of paint) and bought a nice 2AB dial for a candlestick. 50AL rebuild is on the schedule for this weekend. Too many phones and not enough time. Two years left until retirement and I can't wait!

Be careful with that cord!  It's probably the most valuable part!
