Me too, Jorge.  That is the cream of the crop right there.  Fantastic work!

Frank always produces Masterpieces and accordingly he gets incredible prices for his phones.

Another wow phone!  Way out of my league, that's for sure.  I can't even get NOS plastics to shine up like that.

ah....who wants a phone this shiny anyway. probably shows all the fingerprints. ::)
if you click on the "about me" link in his listing, he details the refurbishment process. quite the craftsman, indeed!

Thats self evident, such an utterly immaculate piece, gosh I'd be loathe to even lay a fingerprint on it, amazing!

Donna;
I know what you mean, everybody and their brother would want to touch the phone and drive me nuts.

Jorge;
I would love to know his method of Bakelite restoration. They must be near perfect when he gets them.

McHeath;
I guess we just don't spend days on each part, I just don't have the patience.

GPO;
That's goes beyond perfection...In the famous words of Bwanna, Can we say; "Excessive compulsive disorder" Or something like that.

It goes to show the importance in the photo quality for eBay listings. The white background and lighting really show off the phone,  maybe much better than when it would set on my ordinary brown bookshelf.  I have seen the eBay listings with better photos fetch the higher prices.

I agree quality photos make a much more appealing item. Lighting, background, flash and angle all make an important statement, and not just about the item. I have seen auctions with a messy, cluttered room or counter in the background and find myself thinking UGHH, if he lives like that how nice can it be! I have also experienced it with several of my items on eBay, my wife and I have purchased and sold quite a few Lladro porcelain figures. There have been other auctions with the exact same figure running at the same time as ours for half the price we were asking. Ours sold and the other did not. The only differences we could see were our pictures and description. I use different colors and textures for the background to get the most appealing look. JMHO
