new finds

[mienaichizu]

last Friday I decided to visit an antique shop before going to Ambrosia and America concert. I bought 3 phones, a magneto phone that looks like a British GPO, a WE500 multi line and a NEC rotary. I also got a free handset in black Bakelite that fits my aqua NEC phone (aka denken phone). All three just under $100.

Cool finds, especially that handset to match your aqua phone.  You haven't pressed that button have you?

[mienaichizu]

Nope, I'm afraid to do that, hahaha

Wow, nice buy. What's the date and model info on the bottom of the WE?

[mienaichizu]

its quite new foots 8-70

[McHeath]

Whew!  Glad you did not push that button!

That multiline is very interesting, are you going to try to get it to work?

 Here, check out Paul F's site. Scroll about half way down and check out the various model numbers for the rotary key sets. See which model number you have on the bottom of your phone.
