737-300 Telephone & Microphone for 737-300 Center Pedestal
/
737-300 internal communications
I have installed to the rear of the center pedestal the correct telephone and microphone for the 737-300 aircraft. Neither item is necessary, but it adds to aesthetics and fills the empty gap where the telephone should have been installed. Although the telephone and microphone are functional, they have not been configured to operate with the avionics suite or flight simulator.
The center pedestal and telephone are not from a 737-800 aircraft, nor would they ever be seen on a Next Generation aircraft; they fill a gap until the respective OEM components can be found.
Sometimes it’s a matter of what is available, or waiting until a part becomes available. In this case, I decided to use what was available.
This type of telephone and microphone (as well as other types depending upon manufacture) were used on the 737-300 through to the 737-500 aircraft.
As you can see from the photograph, this telephone has been there and done that! The telephone is considerably scratched, but I prefer using part that shows service, rather than using a shinny new reproduction item.
