Connecticut Desk Intercom

Ran across this nice Connecticut phone, except that it's missing the cradle.  I can't find any pictures of what this should look like - does anyone know what's missing?  the handset is marked Connecticut, and the base and basecover.  I've never seen one like this and would love to find the missing parts.

Dave...I saw this as well. I thought it would have a grab a phone type cradle....Doug

Don't know but the stem and the parts the cradle attaches to are SC.Never seen an SC cradle set though.

I have a similar set but the the stem is a bit different.  I am also looking for the plunger for mine.

Here are a few similar Connecticut sets...

Perfect.  At least now I know what to look for.

Here's a Couch 12 station that's now in my collection.  Still has the wood bottom plate.

WDS, 

Can you please take a photo of the plunger.  Mine is missing and would like to know what it should look like.

Thanks, Russ

Russ,

I started a new topic for reference photos of the Couch desk sets.

Russ, sorry about the delay.  I tried taking the bottom cover off so I could get to the plunger, but I'm having trouble locating one of the screws for the bottom wood plate.  I'll dig around some more and see if I can't get that cover off. 

[Russ Kirk]

WDS & Paul,  many thanks for the plunger photos.

there was only one screw holding the bottom plate - it was just stuck.  The hard part was actually lining up the screw and putting it back on.
