PLEASE ""READ FULL ENTIRE "" DESCRIPTION & VIEW "ALL-21" PICTURES AS PICTURES ARE ALSO A PART OF MY DESCRIPTION BEFORE PLACING A BUY ON THIS ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR LOOKING & GREAT WORKING PHONE. THANK YOU.
PLEASE READ THE THE REST OF THE DESCRIPTION BELOW. Thank youUp for your consideration is this BEAUTIFUL & SPECTACULAR LOOKING 01/1960 RED Western Electric Bell System CLASSIC Rotary Dial desk telephone "Model 500CD" that looks & Feels like it came out of the box yesterday. This phone is working well. I recently detailed it for the next lucky owner.
The RED color is always special on these vintage phones, and it will surely add cheer to your kitchen or any other room. Nothing quite like the rotating sound of a vintage phone in an age when it seems everything around us has gone digital. This telephone is in SUPERB cosmetic condition (NOT PERFECT) & FANTASTIC working condition, you won’t find the usual 30+ yr accumulation of grime, paint drippings, or gummy stickers on this one that will pass a military white glove test. Careful detailing and polishing of parts included the body, dial, and the handset was given special attention inside and out, so there will be no qualms about using it.
Phone displays with a beautiful gloss as seen in photos with no grime in the usual hiding places. The rotating dial is in excellent working condition, and I was able to get a dial tone on the old phone line here that dials out great and both parties can be heard clearly. The adjustable rotating ringer control on the bottom works on incoming calls with that distinctive sound from real brass bells inside.The Black Modular line cord from the back of the phone to a MODULAR WALL JACK is in great condition. The RED Modular coiled hand set cord is in undamaged, pliable & in Excellent Condition. THIS WESTERN ELECTRIC PHONE COME WITH A G6 AMPLIFIED HANDSET.FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, MODERN "DIGITAL" PHONE LINES IN SOME AREAS MIGHT NOT SUPPORT ALL FUNCTIONS OF VINTAGE ROTARY DIAL PHONES THAT DO BEST ON OLD TRADITIONAL LAND LINE SERVICES.
This is the real McCoy Western Electric product in a cheerful RED color, made in USA to last. I have taken many pictures so you may get a good view at this EXTREMELY nice looking & working vintage telephone.
I REALIZE AM ASKING A PREMIUM PRICE FOR THIS TELEPHONE AS THERE ARE MANY PHONES OUT HERE "HOWEVER" THIS ONE LOOKS & FEELS LIKE IT "ALMOST" CAME OUT OF THE BOX YESTERDAY. IT IS SPARKLING CLEAN ALL THE WAY AROUND & IN AMAZING LOOKING CONDITION & IT DOES WORK.
I have a few antique vintage radios & items listed on at different times so you may want to take a peek now or in the future to see if there isn't anything else that you just can't live with or with out:-) To see other items click here See other items
