The coils on the Princess dials are mechanically different. They are taller. I know this because I have tried to use them in 2565 sets over the years to get a lighted dial feature on those key sets. There is just not quite enough room to do it.

So this is the price of additional features. The thing can’t anymore serve for 50 years without tuning smile. However, tuning the coils on Princess phone resolves the issue. My black Princess now dials out without an issue and I now have two cheap pocket multimeters with frequency meter, specifically for this purpose.

The idea with placing the lighted dial on 2565 came to my mind also when I saw how good this feature is in dark environment. This Princess (to be equipped with WE 6050 key strip for 1A2 multiline functionality) I bought for my Home Theater/Studio sofa which doesn’t have space for a full size 2565 in handy convenient position next the the sofa’s arm. But the theater is operated at dimmed or no light most of the time. So this Princess feature was a perfect “fit for purpose“ in this case. Old mobile phone charger with 5VDC output did the trick with supplying power to 2 amber LED installed instead of the bulb.

Though it could be a solution elsewhere with 2565. My idea was to make a hybrid of standard TT dial and buttons from Princess, however there is also a plexiglass plate inside the Princess dial which serves as light-guide to the buttons - this will be difficult to replace.

For now this challenge is not resolved. However, with kitchen project and tiles installation in the second apartment plus repairing of couple of vintage Yamaha CD-players in background, I didn’t have enough time to think through this task. For now Princess is installed in that second property and connected to my virtual phone network in single line mode.

Hello everyone…. My next project over the winter months is to upgrade my WE shoe box KSU to the 620A2 panel. I already have the modular intercom panel and power supply. If anyone has a 620A2 panel or the pink backboard (has 4 TBs and mushroom wire guides), I’d be interesting in buying. Thanks for checking. Been watching ebay with no luck.

Western Electric (not AT&T or ITT) 565 white. Was looking for one for quite some time, now I have it:

Restoration measures are pending, so the final pictures will follow.

Some time ago a nice condition WE 564 in yellow has arrived:

Now I need only Aqua Blue (-62) and Turquoise (-64) to complete the Western Electric color assortment of promoted and non-promoted colours for 1A2 business telephone sets.

Will keep on hunting...

P.S. These two are not of my favorite modification of 564/565 housing, i.e. without clear plexiglass escutcheon around the line buttons, but taking into account rare colors I can’t be to picky.

Part of my collecting tasks is to try to locate where the phone could be installed originally before it was stored for couple of decades on the attic or in the garage and finally moved to me. It’s not always easy. But it’s interesting.

I know, I’m crazy but if anyone has a color to contribute to my collection, I would be glad to buy from you.
