Vintage 801 Retro Rotary Dial Red Phone refurbished - in very rare Red colour

This Telephone has a new dial label (blank). This was the standard telephone in Australian homes during the 1960's. PMG code was 801 ACF Red . The 801 Red phones are much harder to find than the 802 model red telephones. It has a very rare red line cord.

Tens of thousands of these phones were destroyed - they are now rare - with ones in as good condition as this - even rarer

This phone has a refurbished plastic phone shell, the handpiece and curly cord are refurbished. The electronics have been refurbished. the handpiece and case has been buffed, but still has some fine scratches , however its good for another 30 years. It looks fantastic for a 50 year old telephone.

This is not a junky phone like those being sold on eBay, or sitting in someone's shed, or bought at a garage sale - this is a quality telephone.

Dials decadic, it will not dial DTMF tones that you use for voicemail/call centres etc. However it dials telephone numbers fine, information on decadic here. It rings with a loud mechanical bell that you can adjust under the phone.

This phone has been refurbished . The red 801 telephone comes with a standard telecom 605 plug you may need an adaptor here or other adaptors here , you may need an ADSL filter, information on ADSL with retro phones here.
