Field notes
The workshop log mixes repair entries with a clock account: the page says it moved one minute without being wound or touched, but does not explain the event. The store lists dial cards for WE 302/500 and AE 40 phones, plus cloth-covered cords; both offerings are marked sold out. Cal Brennan's contact details and workshop hours are on the homepage.
