    old phone systems





    anyone come across old phone system equipment circa mid 70's to mid 80's like old key systems stuff looks like there is some good money in them. i have some of the old "cards" and hopefully i will be able to post some pics in this post. which would be better break it down(cut fingers) or sell as whole? i wish i was as good at working a computer as i am at scrapping one lol. any advice would be appreciated (that includes trying to get the pics up)

    I think i'd look up that guy who sells "remodeled" old payphones on Ebay. He might at least tell you about those parts, or maybe even want some of em. Those phones of his sell regular for around $800

    I'd try contacting that guy Helly, maybe he'll talk to ya about em, maybe even interested in em, or know someone who would be. After you do the "contact seller" thing, and he writes you back, you could insert the photos or links in the second email
