Played the odds on two auctions last night & was surprised to find was high bidder on one.

331154755134 - looks like an AE-83 w/an 'anti-noise' handset.

$31.50 + S&H

This will be my first 'project' phone just for fun, so how'd I do?

thx

PS:  That *is* the correct model number right?  Looked more like one in a 1957 catalog than one in a cat from 1944.

It is hard to tell from the outside the type 43 from the type 83if the handset is missing. Your older handset makes me beleive the set is a type 43.The type 83 has screws in the induction coil and the type 43 has soldered connections on the induction coil. There might be a diagram inside the case

Bruce,
         Not for sure what you have there. A look inside will tell.  Here's a pic of AE- PL 397  DT or AE -43 which uses both Type 41 anti-noise and a regular 41 handset and the bottom one is AE -L 8302  B2 or AE- 83 which uses both Type 841 anti-noise and a 811 handset.   stub

Thanks for replies & ref. photos. 6 solder joints so 'guts' are 43.

Wanted a 'project' - looks like I have one.  No wiring to dial at all. 



This is a series 24 or 51 type?  Mountings for gear & springs are part of base.

(BTW: since no wires, have numbered terminals for future post at 'tech' forum.)



Diagram indicates switch in handset.

But from 1944 catalog on model 43.  "It is not neccessary to have a special "antinoise" handset for noisey locations."

Transmitter marked: "A.E. Co. 41 D-38309-A" 

Receiver marked: "A.E. Co. Type 41 D-5189-B" and also  "11-54"

11-54 = phone from 40's was refurbished or worked on around November '54?

Still not sure what to make of dial...

thx

Dial has the typical 3 normally open contacts (The one with a strap + 3 +5) found on most AE dials + 2 normally open contact springs (4 + 6) for circuits where the receiver is opened during dialing, such as a WE 302.
