This finally came today. I couldn't get the seller to ship it. It was worth the wait. It came out fantastic!

It is fully functional....Doug

WOW! That did come out awesome, nice cleanup.

Harry.....I sure did look horrible. I opened the phone and took off the shell and sprayed the cords and and the shell with Windex over a paper towel. I removed the finger wheel and started on the bezel with a wet windex paper towel. it just lifted right off. Brasso for a few scuffs. I took about a half hour. I figured I had to remove the cords etc...nope. It looked good in the pictures underneath and it came out great. It still has the new phone shine under the grime. Even the original dial card was saved.

I added a new clear celluloid and a jack on the line cord. Done!

Another 500, Jorge this is your fault!....Doug

Looks great, Doug.  Nice restoration.  Aqua often discolors.  This looks like a beautiful example.
