Haven't seen any AE parts that old; I was sorting AE and Contempras all day today.

Oh man that looks like a blast.  I love having a group of goodies to rob screws and that sort of thing,  Nice collection!

It seems Sonny will once again have to move. The Candler Warehouse, built in 1922 on 40 acres in Atlanta's West End, has just been sold.

Oh wow...you guys are probably getting to be too old for all the moving! Has he managed to sell off a fair bit of the stuff since the move in 2013 or is there more than ever?

Does he still have the Gray Coin Collector?  If so how much?

[poplar1]

Greg, he sold the Gray a while back on Ebay. I think it brought about $130: no key.

Terry, he had some good pickers bringing in stuff to the Nashville show. But it got to the point that the show expenses were more than the gross sales. So, he hasn't been buying any more stuff, just selling what was already there. Yes, at 87 he should be retiring but at 65 I'm still acquiring.

He was selling about $500/ month on ebay after shipping and fees, but now it's probably closer to $200/month, and rent on 2400 sq. Ft. Is $850/month.

Sonny still has most of this. He would like to sell parts -- quantities or single items. Right now, you can also check on ebay for some items listed:

I seen a couple 5button rotary in the pictures green, can you provide price for the pair? and better photo of them?

[poplar1]

Is green the only color you are interested in?

The ones pictured are *not* the usual 564s (Hold + 5 line) nor the 576s (3 lines + 3 hold buttons)! Note that there are 3 clear keys, 2 amber, and 1 red.  In fact, these keysets work *only* on the Northern Telecom SK-1 Key System. (This is a "KSU-less" system that requires only a power supply for lamps, hold, and intercom talk path.)

Sonny did have one green ITT 564 6-button set. It was purchased by a forum member (John S.)

I believe he still has some black ITT 6-button sets; these are the older ones with round buttons (pre-1965). I may have a green one but it is buried in my shed.  (I once purchased 900 surplus phones + a WE 756A crossbar PBX from the State of Georgia for $218. Most of the phones were 6-button rotary 564s.)
