Thought I’d share with you this great pic I took after restoring a 1967 DS80!
Fun fact : star screws were used to fasten the wheels on these beauties . Which tbh is a pain if you don’t have a star screwdriver 😆

Another wonderful job, David!
I'm a sucker for green anyway. I love the phone too! Is that a Western Electric 500?
I know some other companies made similar looking phones.

Beautiful work on the D80, David! And your website looks fantastic too. Keep your head up, avoid the negative nellies on here that criticized you, and keep up the good work.
