Awwww. I feel sorry for this poor old phone. Another of my favourite designs. Ruined.
This looks to me like it has been rattle can sprayed with that awful plastic textured coating which costs about £3 from the d.i.y. shop. Yuk.
Sorry, not being mean, but a cent short of $200. Really?  :o

Maybe I'm missing something. It might be covered in the purest green (BlackAdder, English humour).  ;D

Am on wrong device at the moment to attach pics and info.

I don't want to be pedantic or anything, but the colour of gold is gold -- that's why it's called gold. What you have dis-covered, if it has a name, is some green... ;)

Maybe you can swap this nice phone for a giant turnip ;)

Funny thing, I'm just rewatching some of the old "Time Team Special" episodes with Tony Robinson.

This phone reminds me of the many talented folks on this forum who I am confident could restore this beast if desired.  Time to review the "Notable Refurb" threads.......    :)
