Hi Folks!
Not sure if this is the right spot to post this, but I'm new here! Please bear with my *Attempts* to use this website...I can only spin the Dial so fast...
Anyways, I'm fairly new to collecting. I've loved vintage telephones my whole life. I began truly collecting about a year ago. Presently, I have several WE 500's, a WE 302, WE Space Saver, WE 354 and 554, as well as 2500/2554 Telephones.
My (Maternal) Grandfather is retired from 40+ years at Illinois Bell, so I know a thing or two about the Bell days (They ceased to exist long before i was born), but i am in NO ways an Expert on Phones.
I also collect, service, and repair other vintage appliances. My primary interests are vintage Vacuum Cleaners and Telephones, so if you should need assistance with an older vacuum, please give me a shout.
As soon as I find my Digital Camera, i will post some pictures of my Telephones. i have somewhere around 30 at the moment.
Warm Regards,
Andy Rousonelos

They do seem to go together, I have a fair collection of vacuums myself, though haven't done anything with acquiring more for a few years... :)
Hi Andy - There is an "Off Topic" section on this forum with a child board that includes vacuum cleaners. Pick a few of your favorites, post some pics, and tell us a bit about them! Vintage vacuums have some things in common with vintage phones - they are everyday appliances designed for an extended service life, and many survive today for that very reason. Some friends of ours picked up a nice 50's vacuum at an estate sale some years ago. It was a horizontal cylinder canister with some chrome, and it looked very cool. Can't remember - Hoover or Eureka???? You know, I'm sure.... Welcome!
