''Antique'' PBX Dial Office
I have an opportunity to buy a Western Electric 555 PBX Dial Office which
is fully operational.  It was manufactured around 1950, has a mahogany
cabinet, and weighs 350 lbs.  This was a PBX attendant's station which would
have been used in a small motel or office where the individual phones
had no dials on them, i.e., all intra-PBX calls had to go through the
attendant.
Does anyone know if these things are worth money, and if so, how much?
I'm not looking for an antique investment, but I want to make a reasonable
offer for the unit.
