Old Phone Virgin Lobster 575

[Ragman2]

I have two Virgin Lobster 575 clamshell phones from 2006 to 2008 that my dad gave us, theres a lot of sentimental videos and recordings on them, and I would prefer not to lose them. I don't have a charger for them, they were lost in a move. Is there anyone who owns a lobster 575 charger who's interested in a buyer? If not, is there anyone who can advise me on what I can do to extract the data? I really don't mind how difficult the task is, if I have to open the phones up and do some fancy work on the interior just to put these on my computer, I'm more than willing.

A Lobster 485 phone is currently on sale on eBay

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125622442039

looks like it has similar connector and a charger is shown in the images. No sign of a USB data lead but seller may be able to advise on the particulars of how to connect etc. and provide better pic's of the connectors

The connector on the bottom of the 575 appears to be (take following info with a pinch of unverified salt)

24 pin LG 7050 cell phone special connector

https://allpinouts.org/pinouts/connectors/cellular_phones/virgin-lobster-575-port/

which is a non-standard connector (so pinouts may vary across models which use the connector)
