New To Me: Keen-O-Phone

[phono-phan]

A collector friend tipped me off about this Keen-O-Phone that was listed for sale.  I told him that I would be interested if he didn't want to go after it.  It needs some restoration but I think it will be well worth the effort.  Does anyone have one of these that can send pictures of the crank and key escutcheons?  I am looking forward to getting this up and running again.

According the the catalog in the APS library, this is a Keenolet model.  Glad to be a member of APS!!!

Great score Ken. Talk about something that adds out of the ordinary interest to a collection.

Well, the cleaning has started.  So far so good.  I just hope the rest of the case cleans up this well.  I noticed the motor board has three extra holes that look to me they never had a bolt in them.  Probably they used up what motor board stock they had left after the lawsuits prohibited them from using the earlier style motor.  I doubt this has ever been refinished but there is a border around the decal.

Thanks Larry.  I never thought I would ever see one of these let alone be able to purchase it.
