Ha caught me! I actually purchased this painted piece of work. I might have overpaid, but I really wanted it!

Did you pay extra for the short line cord?

Good luck with the restoration. That sparkly blue paint job makes me sick. :(

Bet that rattle-can paint comes off fairly easily.   The color underneath?   Can't really tell from the photo.

Wow, what a find!! Congratulations!

Hopefully you can save that innocent white plastic from the Metallic Nightmare residing on it with some EasyOff.

(Sorry about my constant paint-removal nagging) :o :-[

I also love the seller's wonderful Words of Wisdom:

"The base is marked "500U", and seems to be dated "6-61", however the handset is got a "63" marked on it."

With what Ken did with the Red WE 302, I have no doubt this will be another winner....nice find....Doug

Nice Catch! Appears to be White under that paint. Can't wait to see it cleaned up.
