Renovating my AE34 telephone
Interesting stuff, Retro! I just had my AE34A3B apart as well. In my case, it receives a call fine and rings fine but dialling out is unpredictable. The dial seems to run faster that my 302s so I suspect that is the cause. (There is a trick to getting that dial card holder off.) Those...- DNO

That one is sitting on the shelf waiting for me to get to it! Right now, my non-fiction book in progress is Painting the Map Red (Canada and the South African war 1899-1902) by Carman Miller.- DNO

I know the Overlea location is a frequent haunt for low-end pickers...or vultures as I often call them. They loiter by the entrance to the sorting area and leap on the carts as they emerge. Pretty irritating, frankly, but I know they often totally miss things, particularly art. You need a bit...- DNO

It's a model 301A and was made in 1953. We've never seen one either. Reminds me of an old steam locomotive. We managed to get it at half-price as well (50% off all electrical items today). Goodwill has its ups and downs and some locations are definitely better than others. I find that their...- DNO

Thanks Shangas. Actually it's not as heavy as you'd expect. The case is made of aluminum. According to the web, it weighs 16 lbs. It has a fold out carrying handle in the top. We went back and picked up the accessories this afternoon (don't quite know why we passed them by...- DNO

The thrift gods keep giving: Found a spotless Singer model 301A sewing machine at Goodwill today...have to go back and get the accessories that I overlooked! And the same Goodwill yielded a signed copy of Sting's 2003 book, Broken Music (first US edition). Serendipity is lovely.- DNO

What was the last TV show you watched?
Glad to see a greater part for the Michonne character...about time. If memory serves me, the Guv has military heavy weapons (.50 cal mg, etc). Crossbows may not be enough! And that bag Rick was carrying sure didn't seem too full.- DNO

It was a pleasure to meet you, RT. Seems we're both in the same general area of the city so I suspect we'll encounter each other again. I look forward to it. (I'll just have to be faster on my feet next time...that really is a sweet AE34!) I'd certainly agree that the gentleman who had these...- DNO

Thanks Tom. Just to drive you crazy, here's a couple of screen grabs I took from the sale website. That represents about half of the phones. There were also clocks galore. Like I said, I'm not a phone collector but this could well turn me into one! Exciting sale. The sale was put...- DNO

Oh...almost forgot...and I ran into another FL member at the sale. He beat me (just barely) to a nicer AE34 with an earlier handset (pity that). Didn't quite get his moniker, but he seemed like a nice fellow. It's the first time I've run into a FL mate.- DNO

Looks like everyone made some beautiful finds this weekend! Luckily, I can add to the bounty. There was a contents sale in a small one bedroom apartment two blocks over from my house. I didn't expect a whole lot, but what a surprise! I've been wanting a good condition model 302 phone for...- DNO

Hudson's Bay point blanket coats
My wife has found a couple in thrift stores: one red and one multicoloured. Both for less that $10. Won't even mention the bounty of blankets in thrift stores!- DNO

We usually have good luck finding point blankets in local thrift stores. They were made for Hudson's Bay, Eatons and Simpsons...all Canadian retail chains. Actually they're still made for Hudson Bay stores. Terrific wool blankets, almost indestructible. We found two red 3 points yesterday...- DNO
