Title: Nifty WE Frankenphone
Post by: Sargeguy on January 09, 2015, 05:53:07 PM
Picked up this one for $165 shipped.  Nice 2AA dial with a nice 132-A notchless plate.  The Gamewell transmitter is off a police call box if I'm not mistaken.

I guess I am mistaken because I can't find an example on an actual call box, it must have been used for dispatch.   I have only seen one other, so they aren't terribly common.  The transmitter cup has ABT markings so they don't match up.

pretty nice phone.  What are the markings on the perch?
