1967 WE 1515 Finished!

This phone was sitting on my shelf for awhile since the last update, with the empty handset sitting on the cradle without caps, cord, or elements. Apparently, I forgot that the parts I was trying to whiten were still soaking in peroxide! I took them out, and they looked as close to white as I could have possibly gotten them, so I installed them and they look great!

Here are the after shots:

Nice job, Christian!   I've never seen one of these before this close up.  Great pictures.  Being a ten button two line is quite rare.  The peroxide treatment sure did the trick.

Beautiful, and the same year the last version of rotary telephone was released in Norway (our first pushbutton phone came in 1982!)

What a nice long cord!

Looks really great, Christian.

Did you paint that front panel, or did you replace it?

Take a look at that link to the previous topic, it shows what I did to customize another panel to make it look like a dark grey 10 button type.

What a nice long cord!

It's much longer than it looks in the picture! It has to be at least 10 feet long!
