I am restoring a 1962 WE 500 in ABS plastic.  While cleaning the rust off the neoprene feet, I noticed the original marks painted over at the front of the base from april 1950. The 1962 network and triangle feet are both factory riveted in place. The equalizer is gone but the 4/1950 ringer is still in place. The hook switch frame is white metal and the base has a three bracket dial support. The switch has the normal number of cloth cords but also several cut cords (for the equalizer?).  I know its old but is this base salvageable for another project?
