Description: #382 cWestern Electric Candlestick with Metal Subset Ringer Box About this phone:Many hours of time went into restoring the telephone itself. It was completely disassembled. Each component both inside and outside of the phone right down to the smallest screw was hand cleaned and polished. The body was repainted with care to be like the original. The dial was disassembled, cleaned, lightly oiled, checked for calibration and works nicely. The finger stop was polished to a shine. The dial number plate has nice crisp numbers.The hook switch and dial contacts were cleaned with original Bell Telephone Seal Bond paper specially designed for the purpose. The transmitter is the earlier type with the Brass Banana Tag that reads "WESTERN ELECTRIC MADE IN USA" along with the patent dates. The felt bottom is new.A new line cord was installed so that it will fit into today's modern land line jacks. Just plug it in. The Candlestick requires a separate ringer box in order to function. This Metal 334 ringer box with outside bells is somewhat hard to find and makes for a nice display. It was sanded down and repainted. It has the original wiring diagram inside. The phone is fully functional and tested. It dials out and rings on incoming calls. It sounds like an old time phone. If you prefer a different ringer box or dial card, I can change it for you, just ask. All antique rotary phones require a traditional landline for dialing out. If you have another type of phone service, check with your provider as you may need a pulse to tone converter to dial out. They can be purchased on eBay and easily added to the end of the phone line jack.See my other telephones and magnetos. Ships US Only
