I collect & repair antique telephones and specialize in payphones. Check my collection out, google search\"mike\'s vintage telephones\". Original Western Electric phones weren\'t sold, they belonged to the Bell Telephone Companies.
This is a very rare early 1C Western Electric touch tone single slot payphone that was made in March of 1970. The phone is working. The phone has the early type face plate with no \"stop sign\" in the upper left corner and has the early Bell System logo and the rare early tear drop coin return lever. There are scratches in the chrome face plate. The coin return bucket is marked Bell System, Made by Western Electric and looks as good as new. The upper housing (front cover) and main housing both have matching dates 3/70. All or most of the parts on the inside have dates in the early 1970s.
The phone works like a regular phone would on your landline. Just plug the modular cord in and it will have dial tone. The early 1C type phones are polarized, if you jack is wired backwards it won\'t dial out. If that is the case just reverse the red and green wires either in the jack or in the phone (on the cord coming in) and it will work.The phone dials out, rings on incoming calls and can be used to answer calls that come in like any normal home phone.
This phone has an original 29A upper housing lock with a key.
A T key is also included so that you will have everything you need to open and close it.International buyers!
