I bought this 500 on Marketplace because I love the turquoise color and wanted it for my model 500 rotary phone display collection. It was pretty grimy with some rust on the underside and when I opened it up it was absolutely filthy with even more rust. Looked like it had been stored in a wet chicken coop. I am a novice and this is the first one I’ve had to take apart. Would you please look at the pics and tell me if there’s any chance this thing still works, specifically as relates to the terminal block. It’s not imperative, I’m just curious. I’ve been spending a lot of time cleaning it as best I can because I can’t stand the thought of something this dirty coming into my house.
