Title: Brimfield
Post by: Doug Rose on May 14, 2013, 05:34:48 PM
Brimfield opened today, one of the great antique shows. I had to work, but Jan got there when it opened. She walked fro 9-4. This is her haul for under $210. Really great bower-barff stick with ringer and the WE headset. Almost perfect WE 202 with a great 5 bar. 10 button pink princess (NO FADES...NO CORDS :'( ). Metal North, bakelite North, two 302s. Great AE40 with chrome bands, WE Red TT and a rust color trim line.

Anyone have a nice set of pink hard wire cords??

She done good....Doug

That's about as much as I find in three or fours years of flea markets for about 1/5 the price >:(.

There is a seller with NOS cord, including pink, on ebay now: ebay link (http://www.ebay.com/itm/281106921940).  Check out his other items.

thanks Larry...I'll check it out. Still in my work clothes, had to check out the stick. I opened the subset and it had a modular cord attached. I plugged it in and it ring and the stick is fully functional. Both North's work.

The student has become the master! She is amazing...Doug

That particular cord (D4BH-59) goes from the phone to the wall. For the G-3 handset, you need a H4CJ-59.

Nice finds!  I never see a 10 button phone on ebay go for less than a 100 dollars.  I bet even with cut cords.

Here's the BSP for the 1702B (10-button Princess). It shows a D5AK mounting cord and H4CJ handset cord.
