Western Electric 307

I picked this up with a '46 Metal 302 this week. Cleaned up great, but I cannot wire it correctly to work. I works with the modular line cor, but does not ring. Really cool....Doug

Very nice.

Line cord goes on L1 and L2Y, as usual. Then it should ring and receive.
Battery connects to blue (BL) and black (BK) mounting cord, then it will talk.

It seems to be plastic though, from 1948.
Oh, I see now.  Sorry.

thanks Karl....Grandkids today. I'll get it working and post it for sale in the future. Something cool about the 307s....Doug

Great phone, and so smart to make a local battery phone, usable as a LB talking, CB signalling. Excellent for long lines.

I have several of these, and a 357 too. love these phones because they can be converted from LB to CB and back again... so, if you ever have to use them out in the middle of nowhere.... they'd work....
