Well done, good progress on cleaning it up.  That aqua is hard to get all the greening out of eh?  I labored long over my 1500, wore out a lot of sandpaper and polish, and finally just gave up and bought a new old stock shell and handset and cord.  I simply could not get the greenish yellow discolor out of the 1500's plastics to suit me.  The parts I bought were new in the box, and look fabulous, but are not time period to the phone. 

You did a really excellent job on the cord in particular, I would have thought it was a goner for sure.

Thanks!!

Yes, it was a job....Its hard work...but I was doing about 1 hour a day....The case was easy...but the headset, was the hardest.  Trying to get around the curves, around the logo......Overall I am happy the way it came out......
