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