Ugly Duckling AE 80 metal base Touch call phone

Hello,

I've just recently finished up a GTE Type 80TC touch call phone that was an "ugly duckling" because of labels all over the facemat, and housing cracks, and a bad dial.

I fixed the housing cracks, cleaned up the handset as best I could and installed  a Teledial replacement dial, along with a new line cord.

The pictures below show it before and after, and the Teledial sheet used as a guide to wire in the dial.

There was only one error on the sheet that said the red-green dial lead went to 23 on the network...it actually went to 12 on the network.

Maybe this will be useful to others with a 80TC tone dial set like mine.
