American Electric two box

[wds]

Grabbed this one - I've been trying to find a nice two box, and I think I got a good one.  I'm definitely going to need to refinish the wood and some of the metal, but otherwise it's in real nice shape.  I noticed another posting of a phone very similar to this one a few months ago.   I'm anxious to see the inside of the transmitter.  Will also need to get the correct receiver - the Kellogg that's on it doesn't fit the arm correctly.

The correct Burns patent receiver is expensive, might double the telephones cost

can you post a picture of the correct receiver so I know what to look for?

Here's one from Mike's Vintage Telephone site:

Perfect.  I see those on Ebay every once in a while, so I will get one eventually.
