I picked up 14 Millennium's that were going to the scrap pile. It was a 9 hour round trip to Montreal and back to get them, but it was worth it. I got them from a scrap surplus guy. Some have the vault keys, but no upper keys. I even got two prison phones. A couple of the phones had been started to be taken apart for scrap, I got those too.

Lucky phones. Saved. Well done.

Real nice haul Doug !!   Where are you going to put the "Central Office" when you buy it ?   ;D     But seriously, it's nice to know those sets won't be going to a dump somewhere to get driven over by a D-9 Cat and buried for good.

Thanks guys,

I just spent the last two days opening these 14 phones. They are now all open with locks removed. I think I'm getting carpal tunnel. LOL

I gave one of the phones a make over, just had to do it. Now I have to find a white or blue handset.

And those were just being tossed?  Wow

How hard is it to convert them to home use?

Very easy as long as you know the right person.  :)
