Possible 1951/1952 WE 500 from Craigslist

I found what I think is a 1951 or or early 1952 500 on craigslist. I saw the two rivets on the base that were used to hold the terminal strips in place on early 500s, and I took a shot at it. Since I just payed for it, and it won't be shipped until tomorrow, I can't confirm what year it is, but it appears to have been rebuilt as a CD model later on, because it has brushed-on black paint over the original designation (most likely a T). Whatever it turns out to be, I can't go too wrong for $25!

I bought this one separately from a lot of three 500s, so it's the one at the top right:

Are you selling the other two on Ebay?

No, I simply didn't buy the other two. The seller was nice enough to take a separate picture of the phone to confirm that it was the one I wanted.

Thats make more sense. I saw what looked like the exact same picture on ebay.
