A new creation for your viewing pleasure...or not, I don't care...

This is my WE metal box...can't remember the model right now.
Anyway, I had to do a few mods to get it to be a telephone.
A new hook switch, a few extra wires, and a coil.
So, it works well, but since I do not have an automatic CB CO to answer a call, I opted to make it a LB phone.
It rings, answers, and talks. But cannot call out...
So, I got a magneto, built a box for it, and a back board.
Put it all together, and this is what I came up with.
I think it looks pretty darn cool.

Interesting. Nice work. Whatever it takes to get them working, that's half the fun! The other half is finding them!

Thanks Harry. it really is a labor of love.
I need to have my phones in working order, so I can use them.
And I can't afford the shiny ones, so they all need a little tlc.
This one was fun.
The first one I had to do so much just to get it to work.
I think it was originally an intercom, as it was missing a coil, and the hook switch was an SPST.
The wood was fun too. A carpenter, I am not, but it turned out good.
Almost reminds me of a small payphone. lol.
Can't wait to get it hung on the wall...somewhere...lol. gotta make some room for it.

I like it. Update with the model # please when you get a free moment. I have seen something similar and am wondering if it is the same.

Well, It seems I don't have the model number for this phone...
I have a few more pics, maybe someone can fill me in??
