Firstly I am not sure if this is best suited here or in the telephony section.

Currently one of my longer term projects is the resurection of a late 50's / early 60's Hudson AM108 "Radiophone". I have found a handset that appears to be of the right style. However, there always seems one of those, the curly cord is no longer curly and I wonder about whether it is possible to re-coil it and if so, the best way to go about it.

The second point is that it came without the mouthpiece inset, although the supplier kndly found one that fitted and sent it on afterwards. Now time for another however; however, there is a thin black wire that goes nowhere and a threaded insert with nothing in it. I also doubt the efficacy of the insert as well; whish is anther matter. Any comments chaps?

Thank you for any help forthcoming.

Regards

Ian
