I'm cleaning out my parts box.  Do you know anyone who'd like to have a box of telephones and parts from the 60s-70s-80s Touch-Tone era?

I know I would like at least one of those phones.  I want to put my cellphone in a handset.  I saw a project for that online, and it looks fun.

And if they are going away, we could use them in the supply area, between the phone, the sum of it's parts, and the possible build cases in the form of of handsets and such, I am sure we can use the lot.

Are we talking 5, 10, 50 or 100 handsets?
