Craigslist bonanza!

[Pourme]

After three months of playing with the Craigslist purchase I have begun to put into use several of the phones. At the same time I have been wiring my 416 Easa-phone to the displayed phones. I thought I'd show some of the devices after I cleaned them up and displayed them. The first one is one that got pushed to the side until recently. A dates matching 2/46 302. The gentleman that sold me the collection was a 40 year WE employee and it stands to reason he brought home a select few of notable pieces and saved them over the years. This 302 looks like it was never updated or had parts replaced. Original throughout, cots reciever, transmitter, case and everything I looked at. It cleaned up nicely and works like new!

This pre '29 B1 with a 11-39 4h dial, '49 handset cord and E1 handset matches up well with the 634 subset and works with perfection. The felt base shows some wear, but don't bother me at all. I painted the subset and just cleaned up and polished the phone. The original paint looks too good to mess with.

Nice Catch!

Is the black wire from the subset connected to BK on the dial in the B1?
I see green on GN, yellow on Y, and red on R, but black wire looks as if it doesn't have a spade tip.

Nice catch Popular1...It was taped off, I have no idea why I did that. That has now been corrected.

Thanks!

Some handsome phones, and nicely tidied up.
Update please. What did you keep from this great find?

Short answer...I still have every one of them. I'm not too good at selling phones.

Hmmm.  Advanced phonitis symptom.
