AE Metal Wall Phone found on eBay in need of some parts

[Doug Rose]

I found this on eBay from Cliff (celnout) when it first came on. The paint is original and superb as is the receiver and the cloth cord. The Automatic Electric transmitter plate is from the one I found earlier (last pic). It was bent but I got it straightened out pretty good, the cup was destroyed. The dial is a North and just barely fits in the opening. I have an Automatic Electric bakelite MP, just have to find it. I will paint the brass plate black and look for an appropriate AE dial, which will not be easy to find.

Decal is really nice but my other had a brass plaque

The hookswitch is not correct, but it works until I find a better one. These are really tough to find, especially if you compare it to the first one I did so much work on.

This has been on my must find list for a long time...Doug

Always amazing what a little time and attention to detail can bring back, you can really see the love of the hobby in these project phones saved.
