Last week just before going to bed, an auction popped up for an old rose 302 dated mid-1952. It had a BIN price of $365....the case was open, no cracks in the cover or the handset Well I passed on it, went to bed..and a few hours later when I got up, it was still there...so I bought it. I received it today...the plastic is in nice condition, though a little discolored in places. The mounting cord is badly frayed, as was already known. No cracks anywhere, but now the cover is stuck to the base...and the reciever elements are stuck as well. There's also a bit more wear on the dial face bjt overall I'm pretty happy. I just hope I can get the case seperated again before it starts to crack.
