I have this one in stock ready for full restoration. However if a collector wants to have it in un restored and non working condition I am offering it for sale as is until it is restored later in the year. As you can see it is all original with its cords both line in and handset. The BT20 block is Bakelite at the bottom and acrylic on the top. When I restore this for modern use I will change the handset cord for a best quality hand plaited reproduction and the line in will be replaced with an ivory round plastic one with a UK telephone plug socket. This is because although the original cords are in great condition they have hardened up and are a little inflexible now. This means the rubber inside has started to deteriorate and so I would not sell a working item like this. Note something I found very interesting is that the diagram shows the press key to the front. This would make it a factory fitted item. Sold as a collectors item and not working or cleaned etc. The ear cap has some damage as shown in the final picture. If you would like this wonderful telephone as fully working and restored to my usual standards and covered buy our life time of ownership guarantee then you may purchase at an extra £100.
Fully restored and working as per description. Allow 14 days from purchase.
