    Description

    An original Western Electric rotary dial 410 style 2-line telephone. The 2nd line has been disconnected making this a 302 1-line working telephone.  Known as the "I love Lucy" style phone. This is original good restored parts condition (not repainted). This is completely wired and ready to plug into a standard household jack and use - see photos.
    NOTE   NOTE    NOTE:
    DIALING OUT does NOT WORK on Broadband, Cable Lines (Comcast Xfinity), FIOS, OR VOIP like Magic Jack, but the phone may still ring and can be used to talk on. Since we don't know what kind of carrier you may have - there is NO guarantee that the phone will work - new telephone line technologies do NOT support the dialing.
    Pulse (rotary click) to Tone (beep) converters can be bought to make the phone dial out on non-supported carriers (not included).
    BLUETOOTH cell phone gateways (like xlink) will make this phone work by syncing it to your cell. You CAN receive calls and DIAL out with the modem. (There is information about the Bluetooth on the web as we don't supply instructions.) PLEASE READ ALL FOR FULL UNDERSTANDING OF CONDITION.
    A great working condition phone from 1946.  (The 2nd line components are complete and inside - just disconnected - they can be put back to working order if desired.) The F1 handset is bakelite with some pitting on the earpiece (see photo) and has the original cloth coil cord that is a little distorted, but works as it should.  Also has the suede leather feet in really good condition and the original black rubber line wire with an adaptor.
    Overall:  All wires checked and in working order.  We clean and re-polished the insides and out and test all parts. We do not buff these phones to like new condition as they were meant to be everyday appliances, so they do show normal scuffs, small scratches and marks (like an old car that is waxed). These phones were very well made.
    Judge the condition by the photos. Please email prior to buying with any questions. Thanks! If you are on the West Coast, Fedex will be used for shipping.
    NOTE: This is a vintage 75 year old phone. It is in working condition when sold.  These phones work in power outages with a land line that supports pulse rotary dialing.
