Sought after GPO "Bell On Bell Off" model
This telephone has been totally stripped down and rebuilt after each part has been cleaned and polished. It has a rare push and turn switching unit and is fully wired up to work correctly. The handset is dated 1958 and the internal chassis is marked 328L FWR 61/2. This telephone has a GPO No10 alpha numeric face. The dial has been set up using a special line simulator to make sure it will work on both cable and copper wire networks. It has been tested on our own BT line to make sure it is working perfectly. As you can see this is a very nice example of a very sought after telephone. I have fitted a very best quality hand plaited British manufactured braided handset cord. I have fitted an electronic microphone and best quality D shape plastic line in with a UK telephone plug socket. Please note that these are genuine GPO telephones from the 1930-50s and although I restore to the highest of standards they have been in use for over 60 years and can never be described as mint. The bell on bell of switch is quite rare to find and are usually push buttons. I can make a dial label with your information at no extra charge. If using this as a main telephone to dial out and receive I would recommend having the internal pulse to tone unit fitted. All providers are going over to Voip by 2025 and so will not be able to dial out when this happens. This unit will ensure it will still work when the change over happens. If just using as an answer only telephone then this unit is not required as it work still ring and and answer perfectly.
