super fast ship, great company to do buisness with, cann't wait to buy from them again. it was a real pleasure.
This phone not only looks great but it also works great. I bought this phone because I remembered the Candlestick Phone from when I was a kid and always liked it. The only negative is the fabric covered wire is much thinner than the original wire.
Very solidly constructed & works well. This phone is as authentic as a replica can be; even down to the mechanical ringing bells. Totally love it.Because if its weight & requires two hands to use, not too practical for lengthy phone calls though.
It has controls for redial and flash hidden as a pushable center button. Earpiece feels weighty in my hand. Ringer is a real bell sound (pleasantly nostalgic).I only marked it down one star because I would have preferred the sound and feel of a real, spring-loaded rotary dial, but the push-button tone dial is probably more useful for most people.You get what you see. Good build quality, very solid. Cords are cloth covered like the originals. Tone/pulse, earpiece volume, and ringer off/on are switches under the base.I like its retro look.
The dial looks like the old rotary but is easy to access push buttons. It is a well built replica with the weight and feel of the original phone (I am an old guy and I remember). I also bought the replica Crosley pay phone. This replica that sits on my bar becomes the center of attention. Most remember the old movies with reporters running out of the court room and grabbing this model of phone. You can hear very well because the receiver fits of over the ear.
