  • I have the same exact phone but wrong cord do you know where I can get the right one

  • @Peachsnapple75 I'm guessing its modular ? I think I got a black phone cord at walmart one time. Its one of the really long types.

  • We had the wall hung.

  • Model 554. I have that in yellow lol.

  • Very nice phone. I think Dial Tone may become a rare thing.

  • I think you are right.

  • @RetroVintageItems27 i did but then it stopped working then i got another

  • Interesting, It looks like the handset has been replaced and the cord has been mod jacked, phones in 61 didn't have mod jacks because they wernt invented. Still Cool.

  • i have one like that but it is 1980

  • Beautiful ring... Nowadays is hard to find such telephone in Europe - everything is electronic . .. . Thank You and regards from Poland.

  • @jefferyb304 Excuse me, my comment was wrong - it should be : "now is hard to find" :))))

  • @DodaKrowa It just so happens that the plastic finger wheel broke on this one a while back. I found brand new one online a few weeks ago and fixed the phone about 3 days ago. Thanks for your comment.
