Well, it seems that these phones just all end up having to come home with me!  There's still more coming in the mail yet.  My one phone is no longer lonely.  Look at all the friends that he has to play with now!

You have got the bug, Tom.  I have a few black 500's too. The more black ones I see the more I like their understated elegance.

Did you ever get that no dial 500 to work with the touch tone pad?

Nice collection Tom. You will definately need a shelf or a very long desk to display those phones. Is that wall phone white or beige? Its hard to tell from the picture.

Thanks everyone!

My folks are always on my case about the phones, I had some come yesterday and I got my butt chewed.  "YOU NEED TO SAVE YOUR MONEY! WHAT DO YOU NEED THESE FOR?!" 

I love my 500s, good looking and affordable.  The 554 is a White 1958 Model, wish that it was Oxford Gray as the Inner Code says it is, but it's not :( It's my favorite phone as it was in the building that was our Gun store since New, wish I had the original phone from that place when the phone number was 19. 

I can't have any shelves, unfortunately, because my dad would have to approve, and he doesn't since the house is up for sale.  But yes, I have definately got the bug!

And the Brown one is actually hooked up and going in this pic and the black one next to the rose-beige one is usually hooked up next to my bed. 

I got distracted from the dialless one, took pics of the innards to post here and just pretty well forgot about it.  Need to get back on that project.  But right now I've got so many phone projects I'm on sensory overload.

I'd be happy to trade you 3 of my phones for the 3 I'm currently looking for, a Med Blue 500 an Oxford Gray 500, and a 1949 500 in any color, dealer's choice.
