To me this is what the Forum is all about! Sharing someone's joy. Not only their great find, but how they restored it past anyone's expectations. Congrats my friend...Doug

The walnut handset looks good on it, could you add a close up photo?   :)

Here is a shot under LED lighting. I'll take the phone outside and get a shot of it in natural sunlight. The LED lighting in the phone room doesn't do it justice.

After reading a post from Stan Schreier on Facebook about Vault Doors.
I discovered I had the wrong one on my phone. So I fixed the error.
I stripped the 2 vault doors and repainted them.
The bottom doors are now correct.
The one with the indented circle around the key hole is AE.

 The handset looks sweet and the vault door is now "proper". I think you did a great job.

Thanks Jim,

I finished it up today. I'll post pictures of it with the top off and the "proper" vault door later.  :)
