$20 D-1 Frankenphone on CL

Found this on my local Craigslist.

The seller was 1/4 mile from my house so I picked it up.  The dial is a Northern Electric 5H dated 4-3-51, it has a woven felt base in nice condition, and the housing is aluminum dated IV-32.  I don't need any of the parts and I don't have the correct cords to restore it so I will probably part it out on eBay

Not a bad price for a D1!

Hopefully you can clean that paint off!

i'll leave that to the lucky winner.  I was pleasantl surprised to find that the dial plate was a later type 150-B, not a 164A.  Here are some more pics:

The base plate is nice, with only one small hole in the fabric.
