I found this beauty as a BIN on eBay for $55. Mercedes dial. The wood is outstanding with just a stress crack in the back. Hookswitch is working. Marked SC receiver and cap, the shell does have a crack but not really bad. Transmitter is really nice, but the MP is destroyed so I am on the lookout for one. Original SC cord still has the paper. This will be fun.....Doug

Nice score Doug! Great price on a neat phone. The dial alone could probably sell for 2 or 3 times that!
Congrats.
Yes nice find for sure!

That one is a keeper. I don't think I would sell it - nice find.
thanks guys.....gave it about three hours this afternoon, got it stripped and the nickel cleaned up. Howards retorafinish and the grain is just outstanding. Love the old wood. Everything is still inside. take care...Doug
That is quite a catch. Where is the condenser?

Almost done. I need one of those little wood nails to tap in the other side of the SC plaque. I have some, think I can find them. Anyone have one???
MP is a repro, I was amazed I had an SC. I am really more than happy wioth the phone.
This is really a well built phone and is much heavier than it looks. Wood is great. Good price, but about 8 hours or work all totaled. ...Doug

Very nice job. It sure is a beauty.
Can't believe the BIN was only 55 dollars! Looks great.
