SC Fatboy conversion work

Dear Forum:


I have been doing some touch up work on a converted SC Fatboy I received from another Phoneco that needed some minor work on the internals that weren't installed very well...

The first thing done was to check and upgrade the ringer they used; I installed a 165B adapter frame and resonator to improve the audibility, and redressed the leads. Pictures are attached below.

A rubber base gasket ring was added to replace the felt pad and labelling with the appropriate info. were added.

I've finished it now, and wanted to post pics... I know how some feel about taking a older set, and giving it new parts to update it, so I'll simply say I saw nothing incorrect about the conversion work on this; It has the classic looks along with functionality, and wasn't a major headache to do.

Were the stock parts bad or missing?  If so, you did a good job in saving this phone.

Do you have any 'before' photos?
