| A good friend brought me this American Electric wallphone his dad had refinished and asked me if I could find parts to make it look complete. (We're guessing the missing parts went to a wartime scrap metal drive.) Also interested in finding out when this was made; I'm guessing c. 1902, but haven't found this exact transmitter mount pictured anywhere. My friend is mainly interested in looks, but I may make it into a working phone for him. Next three pictures give detail views. Has neat shield-shaped transmitter mount with pointed screws to hold the transmitter arm, and I need to get transmitter arm to fit it, plus a cup and faceplate. Also want to find nametag to fit the holes present. Need bell mounts, bells, and maybe a ringer if I'm gonna make it work. Also need switchhook arm, eschutcheon, and if making it work a switch mechanism. Repro parts would be OK as long as they look good; not looking for perfectly accurate, but would like to keep shield motifs on hook, nametag, transmitter mount if possible. Advice and help in locating original and/or repro parts would be appreciated. I know Phoneco has a few repro parts, but I thought I'd ask on the lists first to see what turns up. Thanks! |
