FOUND: WANTED- WE 500 series Beige Number Plate

[RDPipes]

I'm looking for a WE 500 series Beige number plate (like the one below). The original I have has a pin chipped off and both ears have been glued on. It's holding just fine but I would rather have one I don't have to worry about.
Please PM me with price, I can pay via PayPal of check, thank you for any help.

The one pictured below is probably not beige but, it's the style I need.
Oh! and if you have the gasket(ring) to go with it I could also use it.

Found the original photo of it but,enlarging it made it a little blurry.
You can see that one ear is broken off and the other looks a little different, maybe chipped.
I think there the same type.

Is it actually beige (60) or is it Ivory (50), hard to tell in pictures sometimes.

This listing on eBay has a beige and what looks like a slightly yellowed ivory included

Yeah I seen that one but, don't want to spend $25 for a bunch I don't and probably will never need.
I don't usually collect this late of a phone but it having the two lines intrigued me, besides that's about what I paid for the phone IIRC.

Ron, are you sure this fits a model 500? I say that because I've never seen a 'numberplate' like that on a model 500 phone... Maybe I haven't seen everything in these models.. maybe I'm wrong too..

It's definitely for a 500 or 554, though the design of the retaining mount changed over the life of the 500 and possibly between manufacturers. Early WECo sets the bezel was retained by two small screws in the center, but later models retained it with tabs wings that rotated to lock and then the bezel held from rotating by the fingerstop inserted through it

Well Denis, its on a 558 and as stated its for a 500 SERIES phone.
It could also fit a 554 and other wall phones but, I don't know that much about the late model phones.
Someone who knows more will know but, the one pictured in Beige color is the one on the phone.

Ok, yes thank you it's almost the same principle as on a dial (all plastic) of the 80s 'DAWN' model. However, I have 500 models from the 90s. but do not have this kind of numberplate '! Well, I learn something every day anyway

Mine the two plastic pins actually fit into holes on the dial frame and then it locks when the ring is rotated. I recall the ones that the whole plate rotated to lock IIRC and the ones that screw on.

Indeed, Stormcrash has just informed me . You know, as you told me before, we always learn something. Well, that's what happened to me because I didn't know this kind of numberplate by ear. Sorry, I don't know the real term used.

Hey, that's okay, neither do I, LOL!

There were three different styles, the first style is for 7 series dials, the second and third are for 9 series dials, which one depends on the year.  They might be interchangeable.  Never tried them.

Mike, it's the 9H dial and the phone dates 2-67

[MMikeJBenN27]

I'll keep a lookout for one.
