Title: W.E. E1 handset conversion parts (aftermarket)
Post by: BDM on March 04, 2023, 03:13:46 PM
I'm going through some of the many parts I have. It has been some time, so I started disassembling my extra E1 handsets and found these conversion parts using a T1 transmitter and adapter that fits perfectly, and a speaker that fits perfectly into the neutered receiver pod.

Just curious as to who made these? I cannot seem to find any reference on the NET. I've been out of the collecting game for some time, seems people have come and gone with refurb parts. I see someone was even making W.E. number plates for a time...
