Antique phone rewired to work in the USA. Designed to look FAST!

OK, I did know all the details about this phone but my kids done sucked all my brain power away. I will have to re-research it and update this.

What I can tell you is I had to do a small re wire in it to make it work with our USA phone system. I checked the capacitor and it was still good! 5MFD if I recall. I polished the bakelite and it looks amazing in person. The sound quality is perfect.

I found information on line how to use an American phone line and simply connecting it to two of the other terminal posts inside. It was manufactured with multiple terminals to give you the option of using it in more than one country. It was very easy.

Does yours look like a knockoff of a WE F-1 Handset?

Is it a Standard PTT? I have a similar one, but mine is the wall model. Beautiful.
