the phone is now 99% complete. it doesn t look like much right now because as i said in the last reply,i have to wait to polish it, but the plungers are done being painted and are reinstalled. the phone has had its final checks done and everything checks out. once the phone has been polished, i will post a final update. refurbishing this phone and posting photos step by step,as well as the updates have been fun to do. i can see by the views that my fellow forum members have been looking, and i have enjoyed sharing them with you all. thankyou....southernphoneman.
