a local find, got it real cheap too. i made a video earlier but don't have a video editor and saw that it showed my phone number, so i did a remake. the stamp on the bottom says 7-61, july 1961. took it completely apart to clean. rewired it and was able to make the original cord work by using a connector from another phone. used black magic's wet shine car wax on it. looks like it did 47 years ago. these things last forever, unlike todays phones. even took the receiver apart to clean it too. has that signature ring. Good classic American made telephone. (less info)
