As a couple you know... I DID get another phone. I bought an antique three slot, what I'll now call "Frankenphone" on ebay. It looked complete but the problem was I failed to ask for an INSIDE photo of the phone. The seller did describe it "as found." I didn't do my homework. The phone arrived and, to my surprise, the top was unlocked. I carefully lifted off the case and found that many parts were missing and/or cut off!
The top of the phone is an AE LBP 82 55 and the part is an older Gray. So to make a long story short (I'll start a new subject on this, which might be long) I decided to keep this and just get all the parts. This all happened a few weeks ago and all the parts have arrive. Here's the phone as I got it, dirty. I cleaned it up and I'll start my new subject with a cleaned phone and my "drill" story (if anyone's actually interested!).
