Harry;
Thanks! I think this hobby has officially moved to an addiction for me

Of course, you are deep in the grasp of Phonitis

Plastic fingerwheel looks to be much later.  Like what you would see on a princess dial....

Yeah, exact same problem that my Imperial had. Whoever installed the closed center fingerwheel bent the finger stop in the process.

Perhaps they had to do that to get the clearance needed for the finger wheel to spin.
The kit for converting a 6- or 7-type  to use the newer style plastic finger wheel included both the finger wheel and a new finger stop.

My Imperial finger stop has "6" stamped on it, and the dial Is from 1955, so someone obviously just installed a later freewheeling the original dial.

Well, my phone just left Omaha, yet USPS still predicts it will be here today. Sometimes they can be very unbelievable.

I think your right about USPS being unpredictable, though I've got phones which the tracking was really behind.

Yeah, tracking on this one was quite a bit behind. For all I know, it could be in Wisconsin now (not likely though), but otherwise, I'll have to wait until Monday.

Sorry if I haven't updated this thread for awhile, I've been busy with homework and other phones. This phone cleaned up spectacularly! I'll get pictures tonight.
