Hello everyone.  I just found this forum last night and joined immediately.  I just wanted to introduce myself to the members.  My name is Joel and I live in NYC.  I have been seriously collecting phones for about 10 years but I have loved phones since I was a young boy.  My parents gave me a phone in my room for my 16th birthday and I opted for a yellow 1975 hardwired 500 which I always loved.  I am always interested in making phone friends and if anyone is in the NYC area feel free to get in touch.  I have about 75 phones ranging from the SC Fatboy up to and including a few Deco Tels from the early 70's.  Anything that is hardwired interests me.  I am currently searching for 10 button princesses, 1500's and of course the soft plastic 500's from the 50's of which I have quite a few.  Hope to talk to some people soon and thanks for reading this  :)

Thanks all for the warm welcome.  If someone would be kind enough to show me how to post pics without breaking any forum rules  :-[  I would love to show off some of my babies  :)

Joel, funny you should mention that.  I JUST posted a how-to after I made my welcoming comments.  I was supposed to do that a long time ago.  I think you'll find it simple.  Let me know if you have a problem.

Welcome Joel. I too have an AE880. They are the best speakerphone and you can even have a conversation on one that is so clear the other caller can't even tell.
Here's mine in green.

OMG a green one  :o  I am green with envy pun intended ;)

I love the green color. I've never see a purple rotary phone though  ;D ;D

I'm going to guess the light blue princess is a 1963? Am I right?

They show up on eBay from time to time. Mine was only $15, but I saw one at the last phone show.
