I noticed this 5302G on the Bay. I realise that 5302's were issued in pink but thought that the handsets were G1's - is it a retro fitted base set - opinions?

Question...would a pink 500 dial bezel fit on this phone? Really nice paint from the picture that is shown.......Doug

a bezel for a 500 set will not fit but you might be able to cut away the lip on the side and cut away the middle.Not worth it

The 5302 uses 302 dials and bezels. A 500 bezel would require a lot of modification.
