The phone looks great! How do you go about putting the cloth sleeving over an existing cord? I have tried to do that in the past, putting a better cloth covering over a worn cord, but it was practically impossible. It was like the old "Chinese handcuffs" we played with when we were kids. When you try to pull on the sleeve, it reduces the diameter to the point that you can't pull it over the cord. Can you educate us how you do it?

You must expand the sleeve and inch it on like a worm in a sense. Don't pull it on, PUSH it on, that way it expands it.
If you have loose wires at one end like this does, they have to be bound up and once you get past them you can unbind them. Its time consuming but, if you have great patience it can be done. Granted if it was only about a foot long would make things much easier but.....
Mine I have to dye first to get the right color before I can even try. Hope that helps.

Thank you again Gary, haven't done the cord yet because I have to dye the sleeve first and
have to order the RIT Dyemore in Chocolate Brown for synthetics but, it'll get there.

Thanks for explaining how to install the sleeving, Ron. I will have to give that a try.

I'm no expert, that's just the way I do it, hope it goes well for you Jon.
