Western Electric 440EA

A Western Electric 440EA telephone set

We recently acquired two Western Electric 440EA telephone sets. They were NOS (New Old Stock) but very dirty.
The pictures show one of them, the before and after result. It still needs a proper dial card and designation strip but I think it looks much better now that it has been thoroughly cleaned.

The 440-type telephone sets are 4-button key sets arranged for one hold (nonlocking) and three pickup (locking). They can only be used with a 1A key system.
