                I think you got a great haul for the money. I like the Navy AE also! Wish I had one!! stub

Nice find! Great deal at that price! Congrats. The spacesaver has the often missing and hard to find mounting bracket too!

I found that the toggle switch on the side of the 354 is hooked up to the ringer for a kill switch.  The 500 also has a US Navy ID on the bottom as well.  Anyone have any clue where I could find more about the AE Navy phone/Intercom?

Anyone have any clue where I could find more about the AE Navy phone/Intercom?

I would e-mail Steve Hilsz.  He does salvage work from Navy ships.  His web address is www.navysalvage.com

His e-mail address is:

I would guess that the Navy Phone/Intercom with AE handset is not an AE phone other than the handset. It says "Radio Mfg Engineers Inc" and Peoria Illinois and shows a contract number. Most likely a piece of equipment that this company manufactured to a fill a Navy order and they happened to source the AE handsets. Of course AE did have a good history at supplying various telephone sets and equipment as well as PBX's to the military and in particular to the Navy.

Interesting Terry,  I have two, one black and one not painted. Exactly the same as pictured but no push to talk. I'll check mine out tonight to see if AE is mentioned, I always assumed it was an AE....Doug

[Doug Rose]

Terry...right again, no mention of AE on either plaques, just on the handsets. It is a mazing what I assume. It is one cool looking phone...thanks...Doug

[AE_Collector]

The fact that you also have two of them Doug suggests that there were a lot of them made! Interesting. Can one of you post a picture of it with the handset sitting on the "cradle"?

Terry....I bought three of them together in the very early stages of eBay. I kept two and sold one for much more than I paid for all three. I haven't seen very many of them. I get a picture off this weekend....Doug

 Terry,
       Here's what I have saved from earlier e-place sales.  
Doug,
        Can you post pics of the handset and the transmitter element so we can see if it is a AE Type 22 Sound-Powered Handset .  Trx. capsule - D-38348-A   Thanks ,     stub

[Gilas]

Looks just like mine.

Doug Rose,
                 I apologize for jumping in front of you with the earlier pics , they were just a couple of clicks away and I think I answered my own question. Again , sorry.  stub

[Doug Rose]

Stub...no worries my man. I will get pictures this weekend.  Mine ARE push to talk, my memeory deceived me yet again, then again I thought for sure they were AE all the way.....Doug
