1968 500 Telephone-Post Restoration

[WesternElectricBen]

Hello everybody!

I wanted to share with you my new "daily dialer." I bought this off ebay for 10 dollars looking like it was all clean and ready to use, though it ended being a simple restoration. LOTS of novus 1 and 2, a little bit of 3. Also, cord work, and a new custom dial center. Oiling the dial was a must, It came with a long white line cord so I cleaned it because I wanted to keep it so I could walk around the room while on the same phone. Hope you like it, tell me what you think.

I also made a YouTube video you can view: http://goo.gl/o8AKo
