The Restoration Process
Cords
– The phone has been outfitted with brand new cloth covered cords and the line cord has a modular connection to facilitate a modern connection to your wall jack.
Shell
– The shell has been sandblasted of all paint or plating and
powder coated
in a semi-gloss black finish. This closely resembles the original colour of these phones.
Transmitter & Hook
- We have had these professionally nickel plated. The mirror finish is perfect and will last a lifetime
Knurled Nut
- This is a fairly rare item found only on the earliest of candlestick phones.
Subset
- We have included a modern subset with network and real ringer.
Original Receiver & Mouthpiece
– Finding these original part with no chips or cracks is extremely hard. These two items alone can sell for over 0.00 online. We have ultrasonically cleaned them to get all embedded debris and then painstakingly put through a multi-step restoration process which includes sanding with 400, 800, 1000, 2000 grit. This ensures that there are no scratches, dents or dings. The Bakelite is then carefully buffed on our three step buffing wheels. This takes out the fine abrasions left by sanding and leaves the Bakelite with a smooth factory fresh finish.
Base
– The base is completely sandblasted clean and sealed with a clear coat to resist rust. It is then wrapped with super soft green felt to ensure it does not damage the table it proudly sits on.
The phone goes through extensive testing before to ensure it is in perfect working condition prior to shipping.
Do you currently have any rotary phones? If the answer is no, it is always a good idea to call your local phone company and check if they still support “pulse” dialing. If they do, you are all set to go. If they do not, your phone will not be able to place calls without a converter. We have internal converters for this type of setup available for .95 (installed during assembly)  or an external solution for 44.95.
