Western Electric Model 500 Dial?

[Ryan_1993]

Hello All,

I've been extremely busy recently so haven't had much time for posting, but I do genuinely appreciate everyones help on the forum.

Yesterday I managed to find a moss green Canadian Built Model 500 telephone at York festival of vintage for £40.00, given the uniqueness of seeing this model in the UK, outside North America, I had to buy it and so far it works like charm, producing that distinctive ring.

The only issue with it is, is that the dial has started hairline cracking slightly around the edges. Does anyone know where I can source a new dial for the 500? I have had a quick look online, but spares seems quite hard to obtain, despite the fact that these were made in the millions. Unless I am just looking in the wrong places.

I hope someone can help, as the phone would look so much better with a new dial installed.

For anyone curious here is a picture.
