As my 500 set collection continues to grow, I picked this up on eBay. All dates match 9 57 with the date 9 26 57 double stamped on the shell in Blue. Neutral cords are in wonderful condition.

This is serious, Doug. Your phonitis is reaching dangerous proportions.   

When the 500-series variant struck me, after finding all the colors it resulted in the desire to  hunt for examples of all the variants.

Fortunately mine hasn't progresses to "needing" all colors in each of the variants ... yet.

I hope you are working on plans for the addition, as your phone room must be nearing capacity.

Jorge got me going on the 500s. I sold the Oxford Grey I had as I was not going to start collecting 500s. Well, I regret selling the Oxford Grey and here we are.

No variants....no room. Oxford Grey, Mahogany Brown and Rose Beige and I will be done. Sad thing is, I already had them all at different times.

It's what make collecting fun, you get to change your mind.....Doug

Who'd a thought Doug would have anything as late as 500s. Nice start Doug:-)

Thanks Gary...I do love the colors!

Funny. I made exactly the same statements regarding 500s many years ago. I did find all the colors, and I did change my mind!

You mean this one. I scanned an original logo and made the dial disk.
