Post by: Stephen Furley on March 30, 2009, 04:36:27 PM
How common are these:

I've never seen one before.  Multi-line analogue 'phones of any type are unusual here.  I'm almost tempted to bid for it, but I think I'd better not.

I've seen them every so often pop up. I hesitate to use the word rare, more like uncommon.

I was actually going to ask about this phone, but was going to wait til the auction was over, didn't want to spoil it for anybody.

In case they were trying to keep it hush hush so the bidding didn't go high on them.
