Superb 1959 BAKELITE TELEPHONE Restored in Fully Woking Condition
$250
SHIPPING OFFERED
Bakelite telephone, 400 series as installed in homes and businesses by the PMG during 1959, in superb and fully working condition. This phone has been professionally dismantled, cleaned, reassembled, adjusted and tested and presents in close to ‘as new’ condition with a beautiful shiny black Bakelite finish as can be seen in the photographs. A modern line cord and plug has been fitted to allow the phone to be plugged into a modern phone jack.
This phone will operate fully on Telstra/Optus wire lines allowing you to both make and receive calls, however it will only operate as an extension phone when connected through the NBN. That is, it can receive calls announced by the ringing bells and allow conversation when answered. To allow full functioning, including dialling out, on the NBN a pulse to tone converter (such as a Dial Gizmo – easily obtained on the internet) can be added into the phone line. The phone has been tested successfully using my Dial Gizmo and Telstra NBN.
This phone would suit the décor of any home of the 1950s or earlier era. Beautiful ringing bells are unmatched by modern phones. Perfect for those who enjoy a little nostalgia toward a bygone era when things were simple and solidly built with craftsmanship and care to ensure reliability and long service life.
