Thanks, I posted this when I was on a kind of high note from finding something that could conceivably have gone very wrong for me at Willow Springs, and then also finding it in time to get the car back to 100%. (Plus, I got to spend time in the garage and not on a drive to the Valley in the rain.)
I'm still feeling good. I like working on the 911 and I like working in my little shop.
David, yes -- it's a 1951
Western Electric 354 phone. Very well built and tough as nails. With it, I never have to go around the place trying to find where I set my cell phone down.
