I finally finished my pink phone. This morning, I assembled the handset, reconnected the pink plug and wiped it down one last time.

So now my small collection of finished phones (not including keysets) consists of a Pink 500, a yellow 500 and a green (-51) speaker.

Working on a red 500 now, and my kitten is helping me with that as well as making this post. (He just told me that any old cat can use a touch-tone phone, it takes a real feline genius (like himself) to use a rotary phone!)

Real comms took 200lb teletypes, hand keys, sounders, operators and cranked phones!
