Picked up 2 more 500s (Black) at an auction sale today !

Cost me a whole 3 bucks !  Not each   ...   for both !

I now have 4 black 500s.

I just couldn't resist !   :(

I now have to clean them up  ...   but they are not bad at all !
Never met a phone I didn't like !

Have any 'before' pictures? What are the dates on each one?

So far ,  I have just given them a basic cleaning .

I will take some pics tomorrow , and record the dates too !

I will post the info !

Maybe I will put them up for trade !

As I said , I now have 4 , two with the large feet  , and 2 with the smaller round feet .

I noticed as I was giving them the first cleaning , that the hand sets are not the same on each unit .

One handset seems to be heavier than the other .

I will investigate further tomorrow , hopefully !

Fine deal, once cleaned up you could sell one on eBaY and make a nice profit.
