N1317 phone given me Aug 12, 2009 by Charles Dingwell. The phone as received had been improperly converted by a former owner to a handset phone without a proper apparatus blank installed in the location of the former transmitter - instead it had been replaced with a wooden dowel in the hole. When doing this conversion, one must replace the switch hook with one designed for an F1 handset - this phone still had the original switch-hook designed for the hanging receiver. The handset, instead of proper cords, had two lengths of lamp wire run to it. The former desk had been removed from the phone. Other than this, the phone was in good shape - all parts operational, and the wood in good shape.
New Phone in Museum
This conversion was common and sanctioned by Northern Electric when they came out with the N1315, but there was a proper way, and a wrong way to do it. The Northern Electric T8 catalogue on page 71 covered the correct procedure and NE's MD-2127 conversion kit designed for the purpose. The old transmitter and transmitter bracket was to be removed from the front of the phone and replaced with a proper apparatus blank. The Receiver and cord were to be likewise removed. The switch-hook fulcrum pin was to be removed and a correct handset fork was to be installed. These parts were ordered, and this is the end result, a proper N1317 with MD-2127 conversion completed August 29.
