I suspect the phone is nicer than it looks in the photos.  Black phones are a challenge to photograph.

You might try to light the item better and get the photos more in focue.  Try using some of the photo tips here:

Taking the photos outside in natural light might be another option.

I suspect it will do well in any case, but might do a lot better with stunning photos.

I decided to take pictures in the same spot as the Picturephone. I think the pics look much better. Thanks for the heads up!

Just a question:
Is this a rear seat extension phone that belongs with the one I am selling?? Check it out please.
Thanks

Sure looks like it.   The one in the old documentation appears to have an AE dial, otherwise, looks like a match.

Down to the wire and holding strong. I am taking a guess that it will bring over $400

Wow!!! I was thinking $500. I'll bet you did the happy dance! Congratulations!

42 bids. Final price $2126.99.

I recognise a few of the bidders but not too many of them and don't know who the winner is. I guess maybe more "radio guys" than "phone guys"?
