Hi all
Got this wedgie phone, and forgot the model.
Also, can someone tell me the correct handset, and where to find one.
Thanks

The handset would be a Type 81.  I have a couple of spares here in both bakelite and ABS plastic.

That handset is off a British set,most likely from Canada

RB

Thank you for the id rdelius.
I think it has a mark on it like a peace sign.
It does not fit right in the cradle, and I don't have the xmit or cap anyway.
I have a growing pile of handsets I don't need.
I should post them in the sale or trade section.

Hey Fab.
Thanks for the info.
Can you tell me if these handsets are compatible with WE and AE handsets?

Better to source the correct handset, it will look nicer, and as you have noticed a mismatch isn't always a good fit.
