Oxiclean worked so great I hardly recognize it!  Although I did give it a shot of Novus 2 on the handset and dial bezel.    

I wish I had a REAL before pic.  The one below is after I wiped down the case and handset when I got my hord back to Mom's.  Just picture the entire phone looking like the line cord and under the finger wheel and you get a good idea.  Only cosmetic stuff to do on this one.  I'll may try the peroxide treatment on it.

I especially like that long, heavy-duty 4 prong line cord.  Try and find one like it anywhere.

Update: My supply of dial cards from OPW arrived, so I chose a contrasting black one and reshot the after pic.

Thank you!  I was most happy that the darn thing still worked after putting it back together!

Wow!  What a transformation!  White phones can really clean up well with this method, you did a great job.

I was thinking it's still a good candidate for a peroxide treatment, but after I read up on making Retrobright, I have doubts if I want to handle some of that nasty stuff used to make it, especially here in my apt.
