Restored phones guaranteed for 6 months

PAINTING NOTES: Many of the older telephones were made of metal and in
most cases need painting. We have our phones (when stated) professionally
powder-coated in a black satin paint. We use this color choice so as to make
the phones not have that over-restored shinny look. If you desire a shinny and
over-restored telephone then look on eBay as they appear there quite often.
Powder coating paint makes for a very durable finish that is hard to chip,
especially on cradle phones where the receiver touches the perch ears.
Some of the metal phones may have slight flaws that may show if examined
closely due to some of the phones having early zinc metal that sometimes pits
or corrodes over the many years. In a few cases some of our phones were found
already restored by someone else. Some may be sold as 'unrestored' for
those persons that may have the knowledge to wire and re-condition the phone
themselves.

NOTE ON PHOTOS: Most of the phones are in much better condition than the photos
depict, itis very difficult to photograph black phones on a white background.

NOTE ON HANDSET CORDS: In many cases some phones were made with
straight cloth-covered handset cords and sometimes with the black stretch
curly cords. Depending on your preference we can change any cord you see
listed here to either type of cord. In some cases there could be a small
conversion charge, please inquire as to the phone you desire and type of
cord wanted.(Black or Brown cords available in most cases)

NOTE ON SUBSET (Ringer) BOXES: Most of the 1920's and 1930's phones
required a separate box called a 'Subset.' These boxes contain the phone
circuitry and the ringing mechanical bell. They are attached to those phones
that require them with a 6 foot cord. The box may be hung on the wall or
simply layed on the floor out of sight.

PHONE LINE REQUIREMENTS: All these older dial type phones require a
normal land based phone line. Services such as Vonage and other digital
cable services will NOT work with these rotary phones (as far as I know).
A rotary to touchtone conversion circuit is now on the market for about $40.00, inquire.

NOTE: September 25th, 2012, Inquire for stock check as some phones sell quickly
