Very nice phone, Dave. Great to see the '49 network. You will find the ringer designation on the part of the ringer that sits behind the network, same as Kenny's '50 phone, and my 12/50 ringer on my '52 501.

Hmm.  I didn't remove the ringer from the base (the phone is so nice I'm a bit afraid to mess with it too much) but I did remember that was the alternate marking place of the ringer and did take a peek in between the ringer and the network, and didn't notice anything.  I've closed the phone up, but perhaps later I'll open it up again and take another closer look.

For those ringers you've seen marked in that area behind the network, what was the ringer number?  C2A?  Something earlier?

The mark on mine is C2A. To see it I have to take the ringer off the base, as it's marked lower than Kenny's phone.

OK.  I did have to unmount the ringer to see the number.  It says C2A in small, vermillion print.  Thanks.

Your's is the earliest dated  one on the forum !(mine was a 12-49). Dan/P has the '48 prototype.

OMG!  My 9/49 network is a forum production record?  Neat!

Dan, I thought your network was from 11/49

OK.  Here's the best part!

I just wired the mounting cord of this phone to a plug and connected it to my Asterisk PBX and IT ALL WORKS GREAT!  Reception and transmission is great, it rings and IT EVEN DIALS!

I've had trouble with older 7-style dials just getting ever-so-slightly out of speed tolerance for its pulses not to be recognized by my digital VOIP adapters.  However, the dial in this set is right on perfect!

Yeay!

I'm always looking for one Dan, so far no '49 500's in my stash.
