To All New Registering Members. Free Phone.

[Dan/Panther]

I have a friend here in the Philippines who is starting to collect old telephones and I am urging him to join the forum

Tell him if he joins, and pays shipping, I will send him a 302.

It won't hurt, does not cost anything and you get a free phone!!
Besides we want to see your phones and hear your stories on finding & fixing them

[brshaffer]

To all potential members: I got mine today, Dan is a man of his word.  It's a 10/57 WE500! 

Thanks again, so much, to Dan for his generosity!  To pay-it-forward and help our newcomers to the hobby (like me!), with this phone I will document my entire refurbishing process in detail.  A screw-by-screw--wire by wire--piece by piece breakdown and demonstrations of whatever cleaning/repairing I do.

So join now!  You'll get a free phone and a paint-by-numbers post on how to refurbish your first phone!

I think this is an absolutely amazing thing Dan is doing!  I remember back when I first got started there were other collectors that helped get me going and to this day I feel like I owe them for really helping spark my interest.  I hope this does for our new forum members what those collectors did for me.

I agree with Eric, this is very nice of you.

Collectors have started me off with some really nice phones, and I like to see that your doing this too. I hope it also improves Forum traffic with more daily posters.

Great brshaffer, I'd be very interested to read how your refurbishing proces goes.

Dang, I joined up three weeks too early  Would've loved to have a 302.  How about if I un-register and re-register?

Dunno if it's bending the rules of this offer, but, you've not attained 10 posts yet, so, unless told otherwise, you could be in for a phone... 

[Bridie]

I think it likely would be bending the rules a bit 

[GeneGenie]

Is this offer still going? Anyway, I've probably been a member for slightly too long to qualify. I would do anything to have a Western Electric, preferably a 500, the American phones are so hard to get here in UK and the international postage and customs would require me to take a loan!

[Spanish_phones]

OMG what great news!!

I've just joined the forum two weeks ago, and I have been looking for a cheap 302 for a long time. Most of eBay sellers don't ship to Spain, and it's expensive, plus the price of the phone.....

May be I won't have one, I already have two 500's and one 202. I've written 18 posts and written messages too. Dan, please tell me if I have to do anything more to have one 302 (apart from paying shipping costs of course)

Anyway, thank you very much for this action you're doing!

I just joined the forum and ran across your post.   I live in Alberta Canada so most of our phones are Northern Electric which had the Western Electric licence to manufacture phones an Canada. Is this offer of yours still on ? I would love to have one of those old Western Electric phones. Don't run into too many up here.. I'll post a couple of picture wheb I get everything figured out here...       tipnring in Alberta

I have had a few new members that are either in Canada, or Some other country other than the United States.
Upon researching shipping costs, in those cases it was determined that the cost to ship was just to cost prohibitive.

Since you don't ship to Canada , I have friends that go Hemet California for the winter, would shipping to them be an option?

Hemet is very close top me, I go there frequently. I would gladly meet up with them and personally give it to them. Have them contact me. I will PM you my home phone number.
