THIS IS A VERY NICE ANTIQUE SIGNAL ELECTRIC ( MENOMINEE, MICHIGAN ) 150 OHM BRASS, WOOD AND STEEL MORSE CODE / TELEGRAPH SOUNDER. THE UNIT HAS A DUAL SOLENOID ASSEMBLY WITH SPRING LOADED SOUNDING PLATES. THE WIRE LUG HARDWARE & SOUNDING PLATE FRAME ARE LACQUERED BRASS. THE SOUNDER IS IMPRESSED SIGNED ON THE WOOD BASE (SEE PHOTOS). THE BASE RING IS CAST STEEL WITH A BLACK LACQUER FINISH. THE UNIT IS ALL ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE. IT\'S NOT ROTTED OUT, CRACKED, BENT UP, CHOPPED UP, ALTERED OR MODIFIED. THE SOLENOIDS ARE NOT CRACKED OR ROTTED. THE BRASS IS NOT BENT UP. THE WOOD BASE IS NOT CRACKED. THE METAL BASE RING IS NOT BENT OR CRACKED. THE ONLY MINOR ISSUE I SEE IS THAT THERE WAS A LITTLE THIN THREAD THAT HELD THE FRONT SOUNDING PLATE TO THE FRONT BRASS ARM TO RETURN IT AFTER TICKING. THE THREAD OR THIN COIL SPRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE REST LOOKS FINE. IT WAS FOUND IN THE CLIMATE CONTROLLED PART OF THE HOME. THE SOUNDER WAS NOT FOUND IN A WET BASEMENT OR OUTSIDE STORAGE. I HAVE NOT POLISHED UP OR TAMPERED WITH ANYTHING. IT\'S BEING OFFERED WITH NO WARRANTIES AS ANTIQUE MORSE CODE EQUIPMENT FOR A COLLECTION.IT\'S BEING OFFERED FRESH OUT OF THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE.
