This is a vintage or retro Black Desk Telephone. It was made in 1948

It is in good working condition It has been modified to work on todays networks

It has been cleaned/refurbished inside and out (It has been taken apart and the wiring, wiring terminals and mechanisms checked and then cleaned) The hand set, earpiece and mouth piece and dial have been sterilized

The refurbished dial has a easy action and returns to the correct rest position. (The chrome dial has been taken out and cleaned, checked and reassembled) The finger plate is in good condition.

It has good speech clarity on calls. This is a nice phone to hear as the bells are "jingly" rather than "bring bring". So it quite a lot softer than other bell telephones

The twin bells ring on incoming calls

This phone uses pulse dialing, you can dial out only on Telecom, unless you purchase a dialgizmo - which will enable this phone to dial out correctly, and on all networks.

This phone is in good condition - There are no chips or cracks, the draw has warped a little, other than that only minor scuffing that comes with age and use. This is a desirable and a great talking point for visitors to your home, and works during those power outages!

It is correctly converted and ready to plug in and use. (Fitted with a BT line cord) It can be plugged in and will work fine in a standard house jack point

The PVC handset cord is in good condition - with very minor wear.

I have been in the telecommunications Industry for 18 years. For the last 13 I have been working for Telstra Clear (Now Vodafone)

My hobby is fixing old phones that can be then given a good home where they have years of use and enjoyment. Nothing like the sound of an old telephone ringing!

All items are very well packaged
